Community and policy based obesity prevention interventions: What is needed to achieve sustainable change?

Front of Pack Food Labels

Delvina Gorton, The University of Auckland, New Zealand

Explored issues of food labeling and dissonance between the food industry’s preferred labeling system and the reality of consumer’s limited understanding and use of this system. It was a particular issue cross culturally. There was clear support cross-culturally for the Multiple Traffic Light labeling system among consumers but there are barriers to implementing a trial including the need for total support from industry.
