Each interview took approximately one hour and was complemented by a background questionnaire (SF36) and seven day food diaries (shopping and consumption). The data from the interviews were transcribed and analysed using <jats:italic>MaxQDA<\/jats:italic>. Data from the Portuguese sample are presented and complemented by the eight country samples in the case of meal patterns, functional and convenience products.
