Front-of-pack labeling and perceived nutritional quality in adults with and without chronic disease: results from a quasi-experimental study
While NS may inadvertently reinforce health halos for certain products, WL appear more effective in correcting misperceptions and promoting accurate assessments of nutritional quality in comparison to NS and no FOPL. These findings support the use of WL as a more impactful FOPL strategy for guiding informed food choices, particularly among individuals with chronic health conditions.
