Globalization is the phenomenon understood as new forms of reorganization on a global scale of adaptation, cultural and economic. It promotes greater interaction between people, resulting in greater dissemination of information and ease of transportation. To analyze the influence of globalization on cultural aspects on the food and commensality of peoples. It is an integrative review, using SISVAN production reports and database searches, promoting reflections on the performance of studies. We have a loss in food cultural identity, considerably increasing the production and consumption of processed foods, which may be related to the lack of time that people have to eat, as good nutrition is no longer a priority in daily life. The consumption of processed foods is prevalent in the regions of Brazil, which has thus drastically changed the profile of food consumption of Brazilians, promoted by the globalization process.
