Introduction: Overweight and obesity have reached epidemic prevalences worldwide. One of the strategies proposed by the World Health Organization to reverse overweight and obesity, is to use frontal nutritional labeling. That is why, in 2018 in Peru the Manual of Advertising Warnings (MAW) was approved so that ultra-processed products carry in their packaging between 1-3 Octagonal Warnings (OW), as required. The MAP establishes two parameters. The first parameter entered into force in January 2019 and the second will enter into in September 2021. It should be noted that this study began in March 2018, that is, before the AO implementation went into effect. Objective: Determine the proportion of ultra-processed products that would declare at least one Octagonal Warning by September 2021, in compliance with Law N° 30021. Materials and Methods: Exploratory study in which 786 photographs of labels of ultra-processed products were analyzed. According to the nutrient profile of the Pan American Health Organization, it was classified into 10 categories. The nutritional content (energy, sugar, total fat, saturated fat and sodium) of the ultra-processed products was calculated in 100 grams or milliliters of product. The final parameters established in the MAP were used to evaluate the amount of OW that would be declared by ultra-processed products in case of not modifying their formulation for September 2021. Results: It was found that 88.1% of the ultra-processed products would carry at least one OW by September 2021. 46.2% would wear an OW, 38.2% would wear two OW, while 3.7% would declare the three OW. Of the ultra-processed products that would carry an OW, 80.7% would declare the phrase “HIGH IN SUGAR”, while of those that would take two OW, 65.6% would declare the phrases “HIGH IN SATURATED FATS” and “HIGH IN SUGAR”. Conclusions: The 88.1% of ultra-processed products would carry at least one OW by September 2021, in compliance with Law N°. 30021.
