Os dados foram representados na forma de frequência relativa para cada categoria e para testar a significância das diferenças foi realizado um teste qui-quadrado de proporções iguais esperadas, ao nível de 5%. Resultados: As 154 propagandas analisadas foram divididas em 16 categorias, onde se constatou que os principais apelos comerciais utilizados isoladamente ou concomitantemente foram: estímulo do objeto de comer (21,1%), ilusão/fantasia (13,9%), família/amizade (13,2%) e sabor (13,2%). Por outro lado, os apelos comerciais menos utilizados para divulgação de gêneros alimentícios foram apelo nutricional/dietético (2%), preço (1,7%) e conscientização (1%).
