Taxes and front-of-package labels improve the healthiness of beverage and snack purchases: a randomized experimental marketplace

摘要

BackgroundSugar taxes and front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labelling systems are strategies to address diet-related non-communicable diseases. However, there is relatively little experimental data on how these strategies influence consumer behavior and how they may interact. This study examined the relative impact of different sugar taxes and FOP labelling systems on beverage and snack food purchases.
