Influences of Nutri-Grade front-of-pack labels on the consumption of sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened beverages: Moderating roles of food environment and age
Abstract
Abstract Front-of-pack nutrition labels (FOPLs) have been adopted as a key government strategy to address the significant burden of diet-related noncommunicable diseases. However, research on public knowledge and perceptions of FOPLs and their relationships with sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) and artificially sweetened beverage (ASB) consumption remains limited.

Knowledge was not significantly associated with SSB consumption; however, individuals who perceived these labels more positively were significantly less likely to consume SSBs daily (AOR=0.72, p
