General Objective: To determine the impact of the Healthy Food Promotion Law – Octagons, on the consumption and purchase habits of processed foods among workers at SUIZA LAB. Materials and Method: The research is cross-sectional, non-experimental, and descriptive, with a quantitative approach. A questionnaire with 15 questions was used to gather information on: public appreciation of the Healthy Food Law and the use of octagons, perception and attitudes toward warning labels on processed foods and beverages, influence of nutritional labeling on food and beverage consumption decisions, and knowledge of warnings and/or changes in processed food and beverage consumption habits. Results: Most of the surveyed workers are active consumers of processed foods and beverages (77%). Regarding the frequency of processed food and beverage consumption, sodas, cookies, and chocolates were consumed most frequently, with 62%, 58%, and 42% consuming them more than once per day, respectively. Additionally, 75% of the workers surveyed compare the number of octagons on packages before purchasing. Conclusion: The majority of workers are active consumers of processed foods and beverages. However, most workers (76%) understand the meaning of warning labels on processed food and beverage packages, and most have changed their consumption habits as a result.
