A dietary pattern dominated by ultra-processed foods has been associated with non-communicable diseases in several studies. A previous study from 2013 found a high share of ultra-processed foods in Norwegian food sales. This study aimed to investigate the current share of ultra-processed foods in Norway and the development in expenditure on ultra-processed foods from 2013.
A repeated cross-sectional analysis of scanner data from the Consumer Price Index from September 2013 and 2019 and an investigation of the processing degree according to the NOVA classification system.
Food sales in Norway.
Norwegian grocery stores ( 180, for both time periods).
The share of expenditure in 2019 was highest for ultra-processed foods (46·5 %) and minimally or unprocessed foods (36·3 %), followed by processed foods (8·5 %) and processed culinary ingredients (1·3 %). An increasing degree of processing was found for several of the food groups between 2013 and 2019; however, most effect sizes were weak. In 2019, soft drinks became the most frequently purchased food item, surpassing milk and cheese, with the highest expenditure in Norwegian grocery stores. Increases in expenditure on ultra-processed foods were mainly due to increased expenditures on soft drinks, sweets and potato products.
A high share of expenditure on ultra-processed food was found in Norway, which may imply a high consumption of these foods. The change in expenditure of NOVA groups between 2013 and 2019 was small. Carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks were the most frequently purchased products in Norwegian grocery stores and contributed to most of the expenditures.
多项研究表明，以超加工食品为主的饮食模式与非传染性疾病有关。2013 年的一项先前研究发现，挪威食品销售中超加工食品的比例很高。本研究旨在调查目前挪威超加工食品的份额，以及 2013 年以来超加工食品支出的发展情况。
对 2013 年 9 月消费者价格指数的扫描仪数据进行重复横断面分析，并根据 NOVA 分类系统调查加工程度。
挪威的食品销售。
挪威杂货店（两个时期均为 180 家）。
2019 年支出份额最高的是超加工食品（46.5%）和最低限度或未加工食品（36.3%），其次是加工食品（8.5%）和加工烹饪原料（1.3%）。2013 年至 2019 年间，几种食品组的加工程度有所增加；然而，大多数效应大小都很微弱。2019 年，软饮料成为最常购买的食品，超过了牛奶和奶酪，在挪威杂货店的支出最高。超加工食品支出的增加主要是由于软饮料、糖果和土豆制品支出的增加。
在挪威发现了很高的超加工食品支出份额，这可能意味着这些食品的消费很高。2013 年至 2019 年间，NOVA 组的支出变化很小。碳酸饮料和非碳酸饮料是挪威杂货店最常购买的产品，占支出的大部分。
