SPRINGERBRIEFS IN FOOD HEALTH AND NUTRITION A...

This Brief provides a snapshot of the continuing debate in the food industry on how to bridge
the gap between consumer knowledge of nutrition principles and the nutrition information system
currently in place for labelling. Aware Food Choices: Bridging the Gap Between Consumer
Knowledge About Nutrition and Nutritional Information examines the available literature on
consumer understanding of nutritional information and comments on the current poor knowledge
shown by consumers about nutrition principles. Another focus of this Brief is on the evolution
of nutritional information in food labelling andcurrent regulations on nutritional claims and
product facts. In reviewing attempts to improve the nutrition information system  this work
points out that consumers must first understand the data provided in order to utilize the
system to make healthy food choices. Therefore  any campaigns aimed at improving the
information system must concentrate on consumer data understanding of nutrition principles and
components as opposed to a sole focus on labelling upgrades.
