Objective: To determine whether there is a relation between the nutritional profile and the number of promotional techniques of existing industrialized food packaging for children in markets and supermarkets, Lima – Peru, 2016 Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study, non probabilistic sampling. Industrialized food (non-alcoholic beverages, baking products, cereals, sweets and meals) were collected, from three supermarkets and two markets from Lima, between May and June of 2016.The nutritional profile were classified based on the traffic light system of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The promotional techniques were classified based on Consumers International (CI). Lineal and Poisson regression models were used to evaluate the relations. Results: A total of 346 products were included: 113 (32.7%) were sweets, 92 (26.6%) baking products, 54 (15.6%) non-alcoholic beverages, 52 (15.0%) cereals, and 35 (10.1%) snacks. From 335 classified, 96.7% were unhealthy. These products utilized, on average, 2.9 promotional techniques in their package. The use of bold graphics (p<0.001) and images (p=0.01) were related with the nutritional profile. The higher the number of promotional techniques, the higher the probability of being an unhealthy product (RP=1.02; IC95%: 1.01-1.04). Furthermore, we found a positive linear relationship between the promotional techniques and the calorie levels (β:30,6; 95% CI 14,9-46,3; p<0,001), sodium (β:36,3 ; 95% CI 16,2-56,3; p<0,001) y carbohydrates (β:8,5; 95% CI 6,3-10,6; p<0,001). Conclusion: There was a relationship between promotional techniques included in the packages of industrialized products aimed at children and their nutritional profile.
