Health Claims on Food May Hide Nutritional Trade-Offs
Original: Study Finds Health Claims Can Mask Nutritional Trade-Offs in Food Products
A new study finds that health claims printed on food packaging can obscure important nutritional trade-offs. Products marketed as healthy in one respect may be worse in others, such as higher sugar or lower protein, leading shoppers to overestimate their overall nutritional value. Researchers say the findings raise questions about labelling rules and how consumers interpret front-of-pack claims.
Why now: New research on misleading food labelling is relevant to shoppers and regulators concerned about health marketing.
