Effects of front-of-package nutrition labels in Latine and limited English proficiency populations: A randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The effects of front-of-package nutrition labels among Latino and Hispanic ("Latine") adults in the US, including those with limited English proficiency, remains largely unknown. We examined the impact of different types of labels among Latine consumers and whether effects differed by English proficiency.

Study design

Online randomized trial.

Setting/participants

3,053 Latine US adults (49% limited English proficiency).

Intervention

Participants viewed one of three labels: numerical labels displaying numerical information about sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar; text high-in labels stating when foods are high in these nutrients of concern; and icon high-in labels identical to the text labels plus a magnifying glass icon.
