“…self-efficacy, expectancies, outcome expectations) (19) . Consistent with previous research that women and people with high SES are more likely to report using FL (3,5,(8)(9)(10)20) , our study confirmed that the high-risk population for not using FL included black and low-SES groups. A cross-sectional study of 658 African Americans aged 20-70 years in North Carolina showed that FL use was significantly higher among female, older, better educated and obese subjects (5) .…”

“…As shown in ours and previous studies (5,8) , approximately 80 % of US adults reported using FL in 1994-1996, while this figure dropped to approximately 60 % in 2005-2006 (9,10) . We found in 1994-1996 that about half of US adults used FL for health benefits of foods/nutrients (50 %), serving test: *P , 0?05, **P , 0?01, ***P , 0?001.…”

“…Several previous studies suggest that the use of FL can contribute to healthful dietary intakes such as lower intakes of total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol (7)(8)(9)(10) , higher diet quality (1,5,7,10,11) and high fibre intake (1,9,10) , although other findings are inconsistent (5,7,8) . Some research has suggested that FL use may be related to demographics, nutrition knowledge and psychosocial factors in selected study populations (3,5,8) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the associations between sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics and food label (FL) use in US adults. Design: Data from the 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey were used. High socio-economic status (SES) was defined as .high school education and poverty-income ratio (PIR) .350 %, low SES as ,high school level or PIR ,130 %. Dietary intakes were assessed using 24 h recalls. Setting: Metropolitan statistical area-central city, -suburban, and rural areas in the USA.

“…Observational data, mostly from the USA, have identified several characteristics associated with nutrition label use including that it increases with age, is higher in women and normal weight individuals and increases with education (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) . Extensive research into the impact of food labelling across the EU has shown that many consumers can effectively use a nutrition label to rank a food for healthiness (19,23) .…”

Food and the consumer: could labelling be the answer?

Extensive research into the impact of nutrition labelling across Europe has shown that many consumers can effectively use a nutrition label to rank a food for healthiness. The present paper considers observational and laboratory evidence which has examined the impact of nutrition labelling (on food packaging and at point of purchase) on dietary behaviour. In addition, the potential counterproductive effects of foods bearing 'healthy' nutrition labels are examined. The observational evidence provides a useful insight into the key characteristics of nutrition label use. Those most likely to engage with nutrition labels are more likely to have a diet related disease and/or be on a weight loss diet and have a good overall diet quality. Experimental evidence, while limited, suggests that serving size information may be overlooked by consumers. In fact, there may be a tendency among consumers to overeat foods that are perceived to be healthier. The findings from the present paper suggest that if nutrition labelling is to be considered a strategy to facilitate consumers in managing their energy intake, it must coincide with salient, consistent and simple serving size information on the front of food packages and at the point of purchase. There is a clear need for more experimental research using robust methodologies, to examine the impact of nutrition information on dietary intake. In the meantime, there should be greater attention given to portion size within national dietary guidance.

Key points The expansion of open access entails a responsibility for supporting this public access with a guide to why, in an ‘Age of Misinformation’, research may be trustworthy. Such a guide can also provide a check on predatory journals, a fear of which may be unduly limiting researchers tapping into the expanding global scale of research activity. Journal publishing platforms offer opportunities for automating the gathering and presenting of relevant data for assessing journal adherence to scholarly standards. Industry organizations, such as ORCID, Crossref, and DOAJ, offer trust and verification networks that can be employed to further strengthen scholarly publishing integrity.
