Resumen
Descripción
Obesity rates in Europe have lead to a debate on what factors influence consumers’ in-store
food choices most. This study aims to assess the contribution of nutrition labels against the
impact of choice sets to facilitating healthy decision-making. Different front-of-pack labeling
formats were implemented on products that were presented to representative consumer
samples. Choice sets and product categories were systematically varied. The results indicate
that nutrition information in general contribute only little, while extending choice sets with
healthier product alternatives of the same category – i.e., ‘choice editing’ – largely contributes
to healthy decision-making.
