As any parent knows, it is really important to help our children to make healthy food choices. I know as a father who cooks for my child, it is really critical that I introduce her to fruits and vegetables and encourage whole grains and try to manage the amount of additional sugars, but it's hard. We do this with the goal of trying to make sure that our child is able to eat healthy once she leaves the home. That she's able to make healthy choices there. But it's not just about the future. My child is making choices even today at school and outside of school, and the question is, can we help her make those choices that are going to lead to healthy food outcomes? Do food labels on products encourage children to make healthy food choices if it indicates good ingredients? Or would labels that warn against nutrients of concern actually discourage kids from using those or consuming those products? Today we're going to actually explore those questions in a particular context- in Chile. In 2016, the Chilean government implemented a comprehensive set of obesity prevention policies aimed at improving the food environment for children. Last year on this podcast, we actually explored how the Chilean food laws affected school food purchases. But now today, we're going to explore how food labels are influencing youth outside of school. It is my pleasure to welcome back my colleagues, Gabriela Fretes, who is an associate research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, or IFPRI; and Sean Cash, who is an economist and chair of the Division of Agriculture, food and Environment at Tufts University at the Friedman School of Nutrition, Science and Policy. Interview Summary Gabi and Sean, I'm excited to discuss our new paper, Front of Pack Labels and Young Consumers an Experimental Investigation of Nutrition and Sustainability Claims in Chile that was recently published in a Journal of Food Quality and Preference. Gabi, let's begin with you. So why look at Chile? Can you explain the focus of the Chilean labeling and food environment policies there? So, the setting of our study, as in the previous study, was Chile because recently the country implemented the law of food labeling and advertising, which includes three main components. The first one being mandatory front of package warning labels on packaged goods and beverages. The second one being restrictions on all forms of food marketing directed to children younger than 14 years. So, including printed media, broadcast, and also all digital media. And the third component being at school regulations at different levels including preschool, elementary, and high school levels. Briefly, food manufacturers in Chile must place front of package labels on packaged foods or beverages that are high in specific nutrients of concern, including added sugars, saturated fats, sodium, and or energy. This law was implemented in three stages, starting in June 2016. The last stage was implemented in June 2019. So, it has been already six or seven years since the full implementation of the regulation. Specifically talking about the school component because this, yeah, it relates to children and adolescents. The law mandates that foods and beverages with at least one front of pack warning label cannot be sold, promoted, or marketed inside schools. And this includes the cafeteria, the school kiosks, and even events that are happening inside the schools. And additionally, food and beverages that have at least one front pack warning label cannot be offered as part of school meal programs. In addition to this front of pack warning label regulation, Chile also implemented voluntary eco labels starting in 2022 that provide information about the recyclability of food packages specifically. There is a certification process behind this labeling regulation and the eco label can be displayed if the food or beverage package is at least 80% recyclable. Wow. This is a really comprehensive set of policies to encourage healthier food choices, both at the school and then also outside of the school. I'm excited to discuss further what this may do to food choices among children. Sean, that really brings up the question, why is it important to look at young consumers and their food choices and what makes them unique compared to adults? Thanks for asking Norbert. This is an area where I've been interested in for a while. You know, young consumers play a crucial role in shaping the demand for food and long-term dietary habits. And young consumers might be more open to incorporating dietary advice into those long-term habits than adults might be. Just perhaps kids are less set in their ways. Children and adolescents are both current, but also future consumers with growing autonomy in what they choose around food as they get older. To marketers, we sometimes would say they might represent a three-in-one market. First, they spend their own money on snacks. What you could think of as the primary market. And how children spend money autonomously is really something that hasn't been studied enough by researchers. Although it's an area where I have tried to make a contribution. Second, kids influence household purchases. This is sometimes called pester power. You can think of a kid in the supermarket begging a parent to buy a favorite snack or a certain brand of cereal. But this can also be more socially positive in that kids might be agents of change within their households. Encouraging perhaps other family members to buy healthier food items if they get more interested in that. And third, this three-in-one market is rounded out by the fact that children represent future purchasing power as future adults. So, the habits that they're forming now might influence what they do when they're older. Despite this importance for marketers, but also for pro-social behavior change, there really hasn't been a lot of research on youth food purchasing behaviors. And this question that we are looking at here of how kids might respond to front to package labels has been particularly limited. In this project, we wanted to understand how Chilean adolescents might respond both to nutrition warning labels, but also eco labels, and how they consider price when choosing snacks. We were lucky to be able to recruit a sample of over 300 kids, aged 10 to 14, to participate in these experiments. I know we're going to chat a bit more about what we found, but in general, our results suggest that while price is perhaps the biggest factor in explaining what the kids chose in our experiment, that some of these youth showed preferences for the eco labels, which could be indicative of an emerging interest in sustainability issues. But overall, understanding these behaviors is really important because the food choices made during childhood and adolescence can persist in adulthood. And this can be really something that helps change long-term health outcomes.   Gabi, let's talk a little bit more about eco labels for a moment. What are they, and how do these echo labels influence children's snack choices? What did they tell us about their awareness of sustainability? That's a great question, Norbert. Thanks. In our study specifically, we found that eco labels, had a greater influence on adolescents' snack choices than nutrition warning labels these black and white octagons that are displayed on the front of the package of products in Chile. And this suggests that some young consumers are becoming more aware of environmental issues, or at least in our sample. One possible explanation for this could be that eco labels suggest positive emotions rather than warnings, as with the nutrition labels. Which might feel more restrictive. Unlike the nutrition labels that tell consumers what not to eat, eco labels, on the other hand, highlight a product's benefits, making it more appealing. This could be one of the reasons. Related to that, adolescents may also associate eco-friendly products with social responsibility aligning with increasing youth-driven environmental movements that are very prevalent around the world. However, not all adolescents in our sample responded equally to the eco labels that were presented to them in the snacks. Our study specifically found that those who receive pocket money were more likely to choose eco label snacks. And this could be possibly because they have more autonomy over their purchases and their personal values could be playing a bigger role in their choices. If eco labels are really influencing children and adolescents with choices, one intervention that could be potentially beneficial could be to incorporate sustainability messaging in school food and nutrition education in order to reinforce those positive behaviors. And make them part of the daily food choices that they make. In making sustainable food more affordable, government incentives or retailer promotions could encourage youth to choose more eco-friendly snacks. Given that price, as we saw in our study, remains a key factor for choice. Lastly, not all eco labels are created equal. And this suggests that clear standardization and regulation are needed to prevent misleading claims. And ensure that adolescents receive accurate information about the sustainability of their food choices. Ultimately, the eco labeling, of course, is not a silver bullet. It's not going to solve all the environmental issues, but it represents a promising tool to nudge consumers. So our better dietary and environmental behaviors. Gabi, you talked about how the eco labels have a bigger effect than nutrition warning. And overall, the nutrition warning labels didn't really have that big of an effect on snack food choices. Why do you think that's the case? Yes, this was really one surprising finding in our study. That front of pack nutrition warning labels did not significantly impact children's and adolescents' snack choices. And this kind of contradicts some previous research suggesting that warning labels can help consumers make healthcare choices. And there are several possible explanations for why this could be happening. The first one could be just lack of interest. So compared to adults, children and adolescents may be just more responsive to positive rather than negative messaging. Because negative messages related to nutrition might not seem relevant to them because they feel healthy in the present. They just are not interested in those kinds of messages. The second could be label fatigue. We discuss this in our paper and basically it is because Chile's regulation was already introduced in 2016. Given that it has been already some time since implementation, young consumers may have become habituated to seeing the warning labels on food products. So, like how adults also experience label fatigue, and this is documented in the evidence, children and adolescents might no longer pay attention or pay less attention to the warning. Third possible explanation is it relates to taste and brand loyalty. For this point, research shows that for youth specifically, taste remains the top priority when they choose food. So often outweighing any other factors including health concerns. If a favorite snack, for example, has warning labels but remains tasty and familiar to the kid, the label alone may not discourage them from choosing that snack. And lastly, social and environmental factors. Our study found, as we already mentioned, that eco labels had a stronger influence that nutrition warnings, and this could indicate that children and adolescents are just more responsive to messages about sustainability than to warnings, which they may perceive as less immediate. Thank you for sharing that. And at this moment in the US there is a conversation about front of pack labels. And the work that you are showing in this paper may even point to some of the things that may happen if we see similar front of pack labels here in the US. I'll be looking forward to see what happens with that effort right now. Sean, I want to turn to you and ask an economist type question. What role does price play in adolescent food choices? Not only price, but the availability of pocket money? And how do you think that should influence policy? Our study shows that price is the most significant factor influencing the snack choices of the kids in our study. And higher prices definitely reduce the likelihood of seeing a certain product being selected. It was kind of interesting. Interestingly, this effect was consistent regardless of whether the kids regularly received pocket money. Suggesting that even those that don't receive spending money still are paying attention to price. And this was a little bit different from what we found in some other studies that I've been able to work on, in the US and Germany, that suggested that previous experience with pocket money, or getting an allowance, was really important for understanding which kids might be most careful about spending their own money. I don't know if that's something different in the Chilean context than those other contexts. Or if that was just about what the kids in this particular study were paying attention to because we're asking about different things. But when we look more closely at the kids in our Chilean study, we found some important differences. As Gabi already mentioned, those kids who received pocket money were the ones who were more positively inclined to choosing products with the eco labels. And that suggests that they might be valuing sustainability a little bit more when making their own choices. Perhaps because they're already a little bit more familiar with some of those dynamics of spending their own money. Whereas those without pocket money were more likely to choose cheaper options or sometimes the healthier options like the apples that we provided as an option in our study. And suggesting they're focused more on affordability or health. So, what this means for policy, given the strong influence of price, it means that policy interventions that focus on price, like taxes on unhealthy foods or perhaps subsidies for healthier options, might be effective tools in guiding better choices for these kids. But also, programs promoting budgeting skills and food literacy might help adolescents make more informed decisions both about the nutrition and the sustainability of the foods they're eating. Finally, since some kids are responding positively to eco labels, integrating sustainability messages with the nutrition education could enhance the impact of food labeling policies. Overall, combining price policies and education labeling strategies could be really effective in driving meaningful changes in children and adolescent food choices. Sean, thank you. And it's really important to appreciate the differences that may occur when we think about a country like Chile versus the US or in some of your other work in Germany. And understanding that youth culture may be different and may be shaping these behaviors. But it's very clear that all people, it sounds like, are responding to price. And that's a constant that we're seeing here. Sean, here's my final question for you. What is the take home implications of this study? Well, first and foremost, our findings here suggest that nutrition labeling alone isn't necessarily going to be enough to drive healthier choices among children and adolescents. It can be part of an answer, but policymakers looking to promote healthier food choices might need to compliment labeling with education campaigns that reinforce the meaning of these warnings and integrate them into school-based nutrition programs. That said, I think that Chile has already been a leader in this regard, because the food items that get the warning labels in the Chilean context are the same ones that are subject to different restrictions on marketing or sales in schools, as well. I do think that we're going to see kids and eventually adults just become more familiar with these categorizations because of the consistency in the Chilean law. Also, on the eco label side, leveraging that kind of eco labeling alongside nutrition messaging might be an effective combination to help promote both healthier and more sustainable food choices. And finally we've been talking about new front to pack labeling schemes here in the United States. And it's really important to make sure we learn as much as possible from the experiences with such policies in other countries. Chile's really been a world leader in this regard and so I'm very happy to have tried to contribute to an understanding of how people use these labels through this study and through some of the other projects that Gabi, you and I have all been involved in.

Specialists kept testing and prescribing medications with no real answer as to why this is happening. Nothing changed until Jen decided to read the back of a seemingly healthy food product and noticed she was consuming ingredients she couldn't even pronounce. This sent her on a Wake UP! Mission to find foods made with real ingredients she could recognize and pronounce. After years of research, she found every clean swap making her menu expand instead of the usual restriction and her health took a complete turn for the better. She started coaching family and friends – all of which saw better bloodwork results, physical and mental changes and word of mouth spread creating Jen to be a food coach. In 2019, Jen launched Wake Up and Read The Labels, a wellness company dedicated to helping consumers understand what's actually inside of their food and revolutionize their grocery shopping. But it didn't stop there - Jen launched The Label Letter, a weekly digital newsletter which includes anti- inflammatory recipes, clean food product swaps, dining out tips plus non- toxic essentials that are made with real ingredients embodying a true anti- inflammatory way of life that can help people feel their best.  Wake Up also has other digital products to help you find clean food swaps - product recommendation sheet, membership app, online course and cookbook.

Send me a text about the episode!Ever wonder why that "high protein" bar doesn't seem to satisfy your hunger? Or why your expensive collagen supplement hasn't transformed you into the muscle-building machine you expected? The answer lies in the murky world of nutrition labels—where what you see isn't always what you get.The nutrition space has certainly improved over recent years, with more companies prioritizing organic ingredients and removing harmful chemicals. But as we explore in this eye-opening episode, clever marketing tactics and regulatory loopholes allow many products to make claims that range from misleading to downright deceptive.We dive deep into three major nutrition label traps: collagen supplements that advertise impressive protein content while showing 0% daily value (yes, you read that correctly), the confusing world of "net carbs" that lacks scientific consensus, and the frustratingly arbitrary use of "high protein" labels on products containing minimal amounts. Along the way, we uncover dangerous practices surrounding unlisted caffeine content and excessive vitamin fortification that could potentially harm unsuspecting consumers.What makes this conversation so important is that these deceptive practices directly impact our ability to make informed health choices. When a collagen product prominently displays "19g protein" but buries the fact that it's an incomplete protein your muscles can't use, how are we supposed to meet our nutritional goals? When products can claim to be "high protein" with just 8-10 grams while nutrition experts recommend 20-30 grams per meal, who's looking out for the consumer?Ready to become a more informed shopper who can see through marketing hype? Listen now to arm yourself with the knowledge you need to navigate nutrition labels with confidence. Your body (and wallet) will thank you.✅ Like the podcast? Leave a review!

Episode 2616 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino give you a lesson in Reading Food Labels 101, trickery in marketing and labeling, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/reading-food-labels-101-episode-2616 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Reading Food Labels 101 Anna loves her Owala water bottle. (2:00) If you are interested, it is available on Amazon and through Vinnie's link: https://amzn.to/3DebbSz OWALLA 32 OZ FREE SIP. The “healthy at any size” movement is being debunked. Morbid obesity is not healthy, and people who are struggling with their weight and health should know they have value; and that's why Vinnie and Anna want to help. (10:00) Vinnie understands why people want to take GLP-1, but he doesn't think it's a good idea because of its side effects. He also doesn't want people to believe that's the only way they can lose weight. People can lose a great amount of weight by going NSNG®, or low carb, and not be messing with negative side effects. (13:00) Right below the nutritional panel (NFP) is the ingredients list. (25:30) The “facts” listed on the “nutritional facts panel” are not necessarily facts, since they can be manipulated. (27:30) They are allowed a margin of error, but it's a wide one. “Net carbs” is another misrepresentation and trickery. (34:30) Watch Vinnie's documentary “Dirty Keto” to get more details. The ingredients list shows items in the order of volume; the most volume is listed first. The front of food packages can claim anything for marketing purposes. (42:00) Stick to one ingredient foods, like whole, natural foods, that are NSNG®, and you will never have to worry about it. Always read the label on packaged foods! (49:00) Anna reads the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) for nutritional panels for a food manufacturer to be able to claim “no carb.” (52:45) There is a margin of error that allows a company to claim no or low carb, but it actually *does* have carbs. Anna will be reporting from the upcoming Food Show! More News If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, register here!

Show Notes: Are you paying extra for foods labeled "non-GMO" without knowing what it actually means? In this episode of Wake Up and Read the Labels, Jen Smiley exposes the seven real GMO crops and how food companies use misleading marketing to make their products seem healthier than they are. From non-GMO salt (which doesn't even exist!) to deceptive claims on bread, juice, and cereal, Jen reveals the food industry's tricks and how to truly avoid GMOs for better health.Plus, learn why autoimmune diseases and inflammation are skyrocketing, and how GMOs may be playing a role. If you're tired of being misled at the grocery store, this episode is a must-listen!  Key Takeaways:There are only seven GMO crops: Corn, soybean, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa, cotton, and potatoes—plus some papaya, pink pineapple, and summer squash.Non-GMO labels are often misleading: There's no such thing as non-GMO salt, wheat, oats, dairy, or oranges, but companies use this label to charge more.GMOs contribute to inflammation and autoimmune diseases: Many processed foods made from GMO corn, soy, and sugar beets can damage gut health and trigger immune responses.The government subsidizes unhealthy ingredients: Grains, seed oils, sugar, and dairy products are mass-produced because they're cheap, not because they're healthy.How to actually avoid GMOs: Buy organic, shop the perimeter of the store, and check ingredient lists—not just marketing claims.Use the Read the Labels app: Scan foods at the grocery store to instantly see if they contain sneaky inflammatory ingredients.

In this episode of The Business of Wellness with Jaclyn London, RD, Jaclyn takes a deep dive into statements made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his senate confirmation hearings for Secretary of Health, and discusses the urgent need for reform in America's nutrition policy and the lack of meaningful solutions to combat the chronic disease epidemic driven by U.S. food and healthcare systems. She highlights the missed opportunities exposed during RFK Jr.'s  hearings on Capitol Hill, and why sweeping federal regulations and RFK Jr.'s proposed strategies for improving American health ultimately miss the mark. Then, Jaclyn outlines five actionable policies to improve public health, including integrating cooking education in schools, reforming the Farm Bill to increase access to fresh veggies and fruit, incentivizing food service and restaurants to reduce added sugar, saturated fat and sodium in their menu offerings, tightening marketing regulations for products targeting kids & parents, and the most meaningful step in Making America Healthy Again and reversing the chronic disease epidemic : Getting nutrition counseling by a Registered Dietitian covered by insurance. Jaclyn also discusses the importance of transparency in the food industsry, how and why she believes that free market strategies and deregulatory policies can work by shifting incentive structures and focusing on strategic inititaives. She breaks down why bipartisan support is possible, and why these changes are essential for making healthier eating habits accessible to all Americans.

There have been several warnings that information on packaged food labels can be misleading. For example, food advertised as sugar-free may be loaded with fats, refined cereals and even hidden sugars. In July, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, approved a proposal to display nutritional information, such as total sugar, salt and saturated fat content, in bold letters on packaged food labels. However, experts feel this may not be enough to make consumers aware of the contents. Shashi Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Akshayakalpa Organic, spoke to All Indians Matter.

12/08/24The Healthy Matters PodcastS04_E04 - Decoding Food LabelsOur diets are a major contributor to our overall health, so of course it's important to know what's in the food we eat.  And what better way would there be to find out what's in our food than to read its label?  But let's face it, oftentimes food labels can be confusing, and sometimes even a little misleading.  So how do you interpret what's on a food label?  What does each of the items mean for our diets?  And what is Riboflavin, anyway?

Planetary health labelling is food labelling which contains data that can be used to calculate the environmental impact of the product.

“We are not in our right mind when we let our hunger and food cravings get the best of us. Hunger and food cravings can be so strong that we toss aside self-control and common sense. And unless we overcome them, they may cause us to make irrational decisions. We need to relearn how to eat to live, not live to eat.”    Sugar is one of the most addictive and dangerous substances we consume. Excess sugar intake has been linked to a myriad of health issues, from obesity and type 2 diabetes to heart disease and liver damage. Overcoming sugar cravings can be a challenging but crucial step towards better overall health and wellbeing.In this episode, Ann dives into the alarming impact of sugar on our bodies, practical strategies to kick the sugar habit for good, the connection between sugar and heart disease, the role of sleep and stress management, and much more. Connect with Ann on Social Media:  Website: https://seednutrition.com/Annt/home Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008572834952 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annthemasterhealer/ Email: Tamingdiabetes@yahoo.com Episode Highlights: 01:53 Global Policies on Sugar Labeling08:18 Sugar and Heart Disease 13:32 Strategies to Reduce Sugar Cravings26:17 Sugar and Obesity26:41 The Importance of Sleep and Stress Management 28:49 The Cost of Convenience and Fast Food33:13 The Role of Individualized Support in Reversing Diabetes Resources: 

In this episode, I want to highlight some of the tactics the food industry uses to influence your buying decisions.The #1 goal that food companies have is to get you to buy their products. And in all honesty, a lot of those companies don't give 2 s***'s about your health.At the end of the day.. I really just want you to be an informed consumer. Not a consumer that buys things because you think it's better for you because the label persuaded you to do so.Let's talk about some of the things you can look out for when buying packaged foods + how to individualize that to you.Where to find me: IG: @lukesmithrdCheck out my website HEREFill out a 1:1 Coaching Application HERETIA for listening!

Childhood chronic illness, mental health conditions, and behavioral disorders have been on the rise in recent decades. Is diet a part of the problem? “It's so important that we are mindful of everything that we give our kids and be reading the labels,” says integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh. “Everything that you eat matters because we're literally built of what we eat.” Processed sugar, preservatives, and even metals are often present in food and packaging, including baby food. “So much of the rice tested positive for arsenic, and so much of the baby cereals tested positive for metals,” he adds. Warsh joins “Vital Signs” with Brendon Fallon to highlight why parents should read food labels and what to watch out for when they do. Some ingredients banned in several countries are still lurking in packaged food in the United States. The impact these foods have on children's health is becoming more apparent. “Research shows that it affects your behavior, affects your mood, certainly for kids with neurodevelopmental concerns and hyperactivity concerns, it has significant effects on them.” What are some of the main toxins present in children's food? How can parents with limited time and budgets feed their children well? “Ask any integrated practitioner what's the number one thing that you can do to see the most significant change, it's just improving the diet,” says Warsh. He points to patient examples where healthier diets improved conditions such as asthma, eczema, and chronic infections. “I see it every week, all the time.” Warsh is a board-certified pediatrician specializing in parenting, wellness, and integrative medicine. He is the author of “Parenting at Your Child's Pace: The Integrative Pediatrician's Guide to the First Three Years.” ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

This week, we're talking about the often-overlooked yet critical topic of nutrition labeling. We navigate through the complexities of front-of-package (FOP) labeling, including the merits and drawbacks of interpretive vs. nutrient-specific labels. Driven by recent FDA proposals to update these labels, we explore their potential to reshape consumer behavior and ultimately improve public health. Along the way, we discuss various systems in use globally and consider the nuanced challenges that come with implementing effective nutrition education and regulation. 00:00 Welcome to the Consistency Project Podcast 00:39 Introduction to Nutrition Labeling 02:50 Types of Front-of-Packaging Labels 10:36 Impact and Effectiveness of Labels 19:26 Broader Implications and Future Directions 22:11 Conclusion and Follow-Up
