摘要
Front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labeling policies based on warning labels have become increasingly popular, particularly in the region of the Americas. Nutritional warning labels aim at highlighting products with excessive content of nutrients associated with noncommunicable diseases. The aim of the present narrative review is to summarize the evidence about the effects of nutritional warning labels on consumer perception and behavior, both before and after policy implementation. The existing evidence suggests that this FOP nutrition labeling increases consumer ability to interpret nutritional information and discourages the choice of unhealthy products. Further research is needed to better understand the effect of warning label policies on food choices and long-term population health as well as product reformulation.
