The Consistency Project

on Decoding Food Labels: Their Impact on Consumer Choices

Aug 7, 2024

This week, we’re talking about the often-overlooked yet critical topic of nutrition labeling.

We navigate through the complexities of front-of-package (FOP) labeling, including the merits and drawbacks of interpretive vs. nutrient-specific labels.

Driven by recent FDA proposals to update these labels, we explore their potential to reshape consumer behavior and ultimately improve public health.

Along the way, we discuss various systems in use globally and consider the nuanced challenges that come with implementing effective nutrition education and regulation.
