TITLE:

Consumption of Mechanically Separated Meat: Prevalence, consumer profile, nutrient intake and food choices. A population survey in Brazil.

SUMMARY:

Background

Mechanically separated meat (MSM), which is widely used in the food industry, differs in composition from fresh meats, minced meats and meat preparations. However, there is a lack of studies on the consumption of MSM in populations.

Objectives

To identify the frequency and amount of MSM consumption, factors associated with MSM consumption, nutrient intake and preferential choice of food groups among MSM consumers.

Methods

Observational, cross-sectional prospective study based on a probability sample of manufacturing workers, conducted in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. A combined stratified and two-stage sampling plan was used. Statistical analysis included survey weights and finite population correction. Logistic and multiple linear regression with robust standard errors were used.

Results

A total of 921 workers from 33 manufacturing companies were studied, with an average age of 38.2±10.7 years, 55.9% males. MSM products are consumed by 28.8% and represent in average 10% of total daily caloric intake, and 47.3% of the daily kcal from ultra-processed products. Younger age and greater waist circumference are associated with MSM consumption. Younger age and lesser educational level are associated with increased contribution of MSM to total daily kcal intake. MSM consumers have greater consumption of energy, fats (total, saturated, monounsaturated and omega-6 fatty acids), carbohydrates and sodium. Their dietary patterns are characterized by lower consumption of in natura and minimally processed foods, such as tubers and roots, fruits, white and red meat and eggs, and greater consumption of ultra-processed foods and beverages.

Conclusion

MSM is part of the diet of a sizable proportion of the public and is associated with dietary choices leading to preferential consumption of fats and sodium, and increased consumption of ultra-processed products. Further studies on MSM consumption are needed to increase our understanding of the nutrition and health effects of this food product on the population.
