The consumer food environment is changing: an extensive variety of foods are now available in most markets, offering palatability, convenience and novelty. However, little is known about the availability and advertising of food items within food outlets, especially among developing countries. The present study examined these dimensions in 281 food outlets located around eighteen primary healthcare services in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in 2013. These establishments were classified as large-chain supermarkets; specialised fruits and vegetable (F&V) markets; and local grocery stores, convenience stores or bakeries. Availability of F&V, availability of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and food advertising were compared across the food outlet categories by applying the test. Almost 60 % of the food outlets were specialised F&V markets, 21⋅4 % were large-chain supermarkets and 19⋅2 % were local grocery stores, convenience stores or bakeries. Almost 80 % contained at least eight types of fruits and vegetables, and 60 % contained UPF. Food advertisement was absent in 59⋅8 % of the food outlets, 19⋅6 % were advertising only F&V and 17⋅4 % were advertising only UPF. Higher F&V availability was noted inside specialised F&V markets and large-chain supermarkets than local grocery stores, convenience stores or bakeries. Advertising of F&V was more common within specialised F&V markets. However, large-chain supermarkets and local grocery stores, convenience stores or bakeries contained more frequent UPF food advertising isolated: 38⋅3 and 35⋅2 %, respectively. Therefore, the availability and advertising of food items within food outlets around primary healthcare services are different according to the type of food outlet.
现在大多数市场都提供了各种各样的食品，这些食品具有美味、方便和新颖的特点。然而，对于食品店内部食品的供应情况和广告情况，特别是在发展中国家，我们知之甚少。本研究于 2013 年在巴西贝洛奥里藏特的 18 个初级保健服务机构周围的 281 个食品店中检查了这些方面。这些店铺被分为大型连锁超市、专门的水果和蔬菜（F&V）市场以及当地的杂货店、便利店或面包店。通过应用检验，比较了食品店类别之间 F&V 的供应情况、超加工食品（UPF）的供应情况和食品广告情况。近 60%的食品店是专门的 F&V 市场，21.4%是大型连锁超市，19.2%是当地的杂货店、便利店或面包店。近 80%的食品店至少有 8 种水果和蔬菜，60%的食品店含有 UPF。59.8%的食品店没有食品广告，19.6%的食品店只宣传 F&V，17.4%的食品店只宣传 UPF。在专门的 F&V 市场和大型连锁超市中，F&V 的供应情况更高，而在当地的杂货店、便利店或面包店中则较低。在专门的 F&V 市场中，F&V 的广告更为常见。然而，大型连锁超市和当地的杂货店、便利店或面包店中，单独的 UPF 食品广告更为频繁，分别为 38.3%和 35.2%。因此，初级保健服务机构周围食品店内部食品的供应和广告情况因食品店类型而异。
