Only includes products with claims. The proportion of products with health and nutrition claims in the regulatory scenario was estimated according to the nutrient profile thresholds of the new Mexican food labelling regulation (third stage). Proportion and Odds Ratio (OR) for products with health and nutrition claims according to the current scenario and regulatory scenario. For proportions, *(P < 0.05) indicates statistical significant different from current scenario. For Odds Ratio, **(P < 0.01), ***(P < 0.001) indicates statistical significance
