Seminar Title: “Will the Updated Nutrition Facts Label affect Sugary-Sweetened Beverage Consumption?”
Abstract: This study uses a randomized controlled choice experiment and eye-tracking to determine the effects of the updated Nutrition Facts Label (NFL) has on beverage choices. Furthermore, participants in both control and treatment groups were given an information intervention to determine the effectiveness of nutrition information about added sugar from the CDC. Initial results indicate that while the updated NFL commands more attention, the updated NFL does not effect choice to increase the effectiveness of nutrition information.
