Decree 11.936/2024 initiates a significant transformation in the Brazilian basic food basket, focusing on encouraging healthier and more sustainable eating habits. By prioritizing whole foods and restricting ultra-processed foods, it aligns with nutritional policy guidelines and tax reform, demonstrating a commitment to public health and food sustainability. The document reconciles with the recommendations set forth by the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population, which emphasizes seasonality, family farming, local and regional traditions, biodiversity, and environmental respect essential elements for food and nutritional security that offer direct benefits to public health. Through this approach, it seeks to guide the population towards balanced eating practices, ensuring access to nutritionally adequate and sustainable food, especially for the most vulnerable segments of society.
