The two faces of philanthropy: the cost of donations of ultraprocessed food

The global ultra-processed food industry donates products that are then distributed to food insecure people who are at high risk of obesity and diabetes. A significant portion of these donations are foods with high sugar content and little nutritional value. Companies promote these actions as part of their social responsibility policies, but health experts and scientific studies warn that they are advertising strategies. OjoPúblico's Cross-Border Research Network analyzed these practices in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.
