Objetivos: identificar a quantidade de gorduras totais, saturadas e trans descritas nos rotulos de biscoitos recheados e verificar se existe associacao entre o preco e a quantidade de gorduras trans.Metodos: a amostra foi composta por 25 pacotes de biscoitos recheados de diferentes tipos e marcas, copiando-se de cada rotulo as informacoes necessarias. Para analise dos resultados foram efetuados calculos de estatistica descritiva, analise de variância e correlacao de Spearmann.Resultados: os resultados apontam uma preocupacao no consumo desses biscoitos, uma vez que a media dos biscoitos de duas marcas apresentaram valores proximos e que ultrapassam a recomendacao maxima de gorduras trans (2,0 g) em uma porcao media de 30 g (1,78 g e 2,05 g), com base em uma dieta de 2000 quilocalorias. Verificou-se tambem associacao positiva entre preco e quantidade de gorduras trans (p Aims: To identify the amount of total fat, saturated fat and trans fat described on the labels of filled cookies and to verify the association between price and trans fat content.Methods: The sample consisted of 25 packages of different types and brands of filled cookies, obtaining the necessary information from every label. Calculations of descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and correlation of Spearman were carried out.Results: The results call the attention for the consumption of these cookies, since the average of cookies of two brands presented values close and up to the daily recommendation of trans fat (2.0 g) in an average portion of 30 g (1.78 g and 2.05 g), based on a diet of 2000 kilocalories. We have also found a direct relation between price and trans fat value and reverse relation between price and saturated fat value.Conclusion: The more trans fat, the smaller price and quantity of saturate fat were found. We suggest a revision in the legislation regarding the inclusion of the exact amount of trans fat in the labels of every product, because high intakes of these fats are associated with dyslipidemia, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
