In this study, twelve brands acquired in markets of São Paulo city were analysed by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analyses technique (INAA). The aim was to verify compliance with ANVISA recommendation in relation to sodium level. The results were compared with the amounts recommended and with the tolerable intake limit (< 0.4 g/kg). The sodium concentration in sweeteners samples showed low content for most of the brands. The results shown that for the general population, it is not risk.1-3openAccessnutritionfood additivesdietsaccharidessodiumquantitative chemical analysisneutron activation analysisgovernment policiespublic healthregulationsfood industrysaccharosebrazilArtigo de periódico129110.1088/1742-6596/1291/1/012021https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7766-2692Sem Percentil17.00
