For over a decade, Jerónimo Martins has been promoting food choices aligned with the Mediterranean diet, recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. In 2019, the Group launched At the Table with Pingo Doce in Portugal, a book featuring recipes that follow the Mediterranean diet principles. In 2020, this diet was the focus of a scientific conference supported by the Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences of the University of Porto and the Directorate-General for Health. The event highlighted the multiple benefits of the Mediterranean diet, not only for human health, but also for local producers and for an efficient food use. That same year, Pingo Doce introduced the brand Juliana, featured in a television series of eight episodes dedicated to traditional Portuguese soups.
Pingo Doce also promotes more healthy food habits through practical tips on packaging, encouraging the use of fruit and vegetables as side dishes. Additionally, the company leverages its website, social media and Sabe Bem (Tastes Good) magazine to promote the Mediterranean Diet. In 2024, Sabe Bem became the most-read publication in Portugal, reaching an average of 627,000 readers per bi-monthly edition. The publication regularly features articles written by staff of the Portuguese Directorate-General for Health.
