Regulations and public policies for the implementation of product warning labelling have emerged in several Latin American countries, particularly in the last decade, in an attempt to combat the growing epidemic of overweight and obesity and related noncommunicable diseases. However, these policies have been hampered and their implementation is often delayed due to opposition from the food industry and its strategic allies. This qualitative research corresponds to a multiple case study whose objective was to comparatively analyze the strategies and discourses through which Chile, Peru, and Mexico managed to implement their warning labelling systems for ultraprocessed products in contexts of strong opposition from the food industry. Using qualitative tools such as stakeholder mapping, message analysis, document review, media review, and nine in-depth interviews with key actors in each of the countries, we analyzed these processes and concluded that there was a systematic behavior of the food industry in these three countries to obstruct these policies by deploying a series of messages, discourses, actions and practices aimed at obstructing and weakening the scope of the policies. While all three countries succeeded in implementing warning labelling laws, it was also observed that at different times the industry was able to influence and delay, and in some cases, modify these public policies.
