“…The detailed background of the label has been described elsewhere (Dötsch-Klerk and Jansen, 2008;Vyth et al, 2009). We found that health-motivated consumers not only reported purchasing but also actually purchased more labeled products (Vyth et al, 2009(Vyth et al, , 2010b, although our randomized controlled trial in worksite cafeterias did not show an effect of labeling on lunchtime food purchases (Vyth et al, 2011). We also found that the label has caused food manufacturers to reformulate existing products and to develop new products with a healthier nutrient composition (Vyth et al, 2010a).…”

Consuming a diet complying with front-of-pack label criteria may reduce cholesterol levels: a modeling study

Background/Objectives: Front-of-pack nutrition labels can help consumers to make healthier choices and stimulate healthier product development. This is the first modeling study to investigate the potential impact on cholesterol levels of consuming a diet consisting of products that comply with the criteria for a 'healthier choice logo'. Subjects/Methods: National food consumption and food composition data were used to estimate the nutrient intake of the Dutch adult population (18-70 years) before and after replacing foods that did not comply with the Choices front-of-pack label criteria. Different scenarios were established. The difference in cholesterol levels in the Dutch population was assessed before and after replacement by means of equations from meta-analyses that calculate how blood lipids change when diet composition changes. Results: After replacing non-complying products with products, which comply with the label's criteria (maximum scenario), saturated fatty acids median intake reduced from 14.5 to 9.8 en%. Trans-fatty acids reduced from 0.95 to 0.57 en%. The average predicted changes in low-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels were À0.25 and À0.31 mmol/l, respectively. Because high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels reduced as well (À0.05 mmol/l), overall, the result was a slightly positive change in the total cholesterol/HDL ratio (À0.03). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the consumption of foods complying with the criteria for a front-of-pack label could contribute moderately to cardiovascular risk reduction via influencing blood lipids. These findings were independent of other potential effects on related health outcomes.

“…A study in a cafeteria environment in the Netherlands concluded that the Choices International Foundation health logo did not result in a significant increase of sales of more healthful lunchtime foods (Vyth et al, 2011). Similarly a study on the introduction of TL labelling in a UK retailer (Sacks et al, 2009) showed no impact on the healthfulness of food purchases in the first four weeks of the FoP labelling being introduced, although this study outcome may have been limited by the small range of food categories included.…”

“…The latter used a fake food buffet, 13 a Foodscape Laboratory 26 and an online shelf-display. 27 In the field studies, different settings were involved, including dining facilities or cafeterias in schools (11), cafeterias in hospitals (2) as well as restaurants, buffet lines at conferences (2; 28,29 ), a cafeteria at a workplace, 30 a university, 31 a train station, 32 corner stores 33 and a swimming pool. 34 Most studies used a within subjects pre-post interventions design (10), or a between subjects design with a control and treatment group (9), while a minority used both a between-and within subjects design (4).…”

BACKGROUND: Nudging refers to interventions that organize the choice architecture in order to alter people's behaviour in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives. As a strategy to encourage healthy behaviour, nudging can serve as a complement to health education. However, the empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of nudging as a way to influence food choice remains contradictory. To address this issue, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to test the effects of nudging to encourage people to select more fruit and vegetables. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed, Medline, PsycInfo, Cochrane library, Scopus and Google Scholar. After quality assessment, 20 articles (23 studies) were retained for narrative synthesis. Twelve articles (14 studies) contained enough information to calculate effect-sizes for meta-analysis using Comprehensive Meta-analysis software. RESULTS: The meta...
