This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria, FOP systems and symbols have the potential to provide useful guidance to consumers as well as maximize effectiveness. As a result, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine and provide recommendations regarding FOP nutrition rating systems and symbols. The study was completed in two phases. Phase I focused primarily on the nutrition criteria underlying FOP systems. Phase II builds on the results of Phase I while focusing on aspects related to consumer understanding and behavior related to the development of a standardized FOP system. Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols focuses on Phase II of the study. The report addresses the potential benefits of a single, standardized front-label food guidance system regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, assesses which icons are most effective with consumer audiences, and considers the systems/icons that best promote health and how to maximize their use.

This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 30 percent of the edible food produced in the United States is wasted and a significant portion of this waste occurs at the consumer level. Despite food's essential role as a source of nutrients and energy and its emotional and cultural importance, U.S. consumers waste an estimated average of 1 pound of food per person per day at home and in places where they buy and consume food away from home. Many factors contribute to this wasteâ€"consumers behaviors are shaped not only by individual and interpersonal factors but also by influences within the food system, such as policies, food marketing and the media. Some food waste is unavoidable, and there is substantial variation in how food waste and its impacts are defined and measured. But there is no doubt that the consequences of food waste are severe: the wasting of food is costly to consumers, depletes natural resources, and degrades the environment. In addition, at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has severely strained the U.S. economy and sharply increased food insecurity, it is predicted that food waste will worsen in the short term because of both supply chain disruptions and the closures of food businesses that affect the way people eat and the types of food they can afford. A National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste at the Consumer Level identifies strategies for changing consumer behavior, considering interactions and feedbacks within the food system. It explores the reasons food is wasted in the United States, including the characteristics of the complex systems through which food is produced, marketed, and sold, as well as the many other interconnected influences on consumers' conscious and unconscious choices about purchasing, preparing, consuming, storing, and discarding food. This report presents a strategy for addressing the challenge of reducing food waste at the consumer level from a holistic, systems perspective.

Book excerpt: This addendum of the JRC Science for Policy report "Front-of-pack nutrition labelling schemes: a comprehensive review" provides an update of the former publication regarding the effects of front-of-pack nutrition labelling (FOPNL) schemes on consumers' understanding, food purchases, diet and health, as well as food reformulation. This addendum was produced to further inform the Commission's proposal for harmonised mandatory FOPNL announced in the Farm to Fork Strategy. The previous report provided a review of the scientific literature regarding the effects of FOPNL on consumers, and food business operators. Emphasis was placed on consumer attention, preferences, and understanding of diverse FOPNL schemes, as well as FOPNL schemes' effects on food purchases and their implications for diet and health. The report also discussed whether and to what extent the introduction of FOPNL schemes may affect producer efforts on food reformulation and innovation, highlighted potential unintended consequences of introducing FOPNL, and described knowledge gaps and directions for future research. The literature review was complemented by an overview of FOPNL schemes. In addition to an update and extension of the previous report with recent literature (published between May 2018 and 1 February 2021), the current report additionally addresses the effects of different labelling aspects (e.g. use of reference quantities, voluntary vs. mandatory implementation, combination of front-of-pack nutrition labels and claims on consumer understanding and consumer behaviour).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition labelling on packaged foods is intended to inform the consumer of nutritional properties of a food. However, some labels may create false perceptions of the healthfulness of products and may confuse or mislead consumers. To address this challenge and to support Member States in implementing policy measures, as recommended by the Framework for Action from the 2014 Second International Conference on Nutrition, the World Health Organization (WHO) is in the process of developing evidence-informed policy guidelines on the food environment, including on nutrition labelling policies (with a focus on ingredient lists, nutrient declarations, supplementary nutrition information and health and nutrition claims). This review on contextual factors to be considered in the implementation of nutrition labelling policies was prepared as part of the required process for WHO guideline development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In 1978, the FDA's Division of Consumer Studies inthe Bureau of Foods began a consumer research program on food labeling: the research included a national survey of 1,374 consumers using at-home, face-to-face interviews. Nearly all shoppers are aware of such labeling, but only 75%pay it any attention. The ingredients list, not the nutrition label, is cited as the most important source of food information. The ingredients list is predominatly used to avoid specific substances, i.e. sugar, salt, fats and artifical ingredients. The largest dissatisfaction with foodlabel information is the use of technical and chemical terminology. Labeling changes desired include quantifying the ingredients list (in percentages), including calorie information, and specifying which spices and artifical flavors are used. Fear motivates most attention paid to foodlabels. Details on the sample and the questionnaire are included.
