Abstract in brief

  • International trade and investment agreements can limit the ability of countries to implement public health nutrition regulations across the food supply chain, potentially hindering efforts to prevent noncommunicable diseases.
  • The study reviews legal and policy literature to identify how these agreements act as barriers and examines specific cases where trade rules affected policies like fiscal measures, product bans, and labeling in middle-income countries.
  • Key mechanisms through which TIAs constrain policy space include principles like non-discrimination, necessity, international standards, and intellectual property rights, with some cases showing significant restrictions and others where policies were ultimately maintained.]
