Front-of-package labeling (FOPL) policies are a useful strategy to inform consumers about foods high in nutrients of concern, but little is known about what type of label works best in Bangladesh, a country with increasing levels of unhealthy food intake and diet-related diseases. We conducted 10 focus groups with men and women in rural and urban Bangladesh ( = 76). Using a semi-structured discussion guide, we asked consumers for their perceptions of the healthfulness of nutrients and foods, two common FOPLs (a color-coded guideline daily allowance [GDA] label and a warning label), and different visual elements of the warning label (e.

In its efforts to reduce increasing rates of obesity and nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases, Peru implemented front-of-package (FOP) warning labels (also called warnings) on processed and ultra-processed foods in June 2019. The goal was to inform consumers about high levels of sugars, saturated fats, sodium, and trans fats in packaged products. We designed a qualitative study to reveal the recall, understanding, and use of the warnings and to explore the perceived changes in purchasing behaviors among mothers of preschool children in Peru.

Article Synopsis
- In 2020, Mexico's Congress introduced front-of-package warning labels (FOPWL) to help parents make informed choices about fruit-based beverages for their kids, particularly focusing on sugar content and non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS).
- A study involving 844 parents assessed how these labels influenced their preferences and perceptions of healthiness when choosing between 100% juice, sugary nectar, and "light" nectar with NNS.
- The results showed that FOPWL significantly increased the likelihood of choosing healthier options and decreased the perceived healthiness of less nutritious drinks, especially among parents with lower nutrition knowledge or no prior awareness of NNS.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is developing front-of-package nutrition labels for packaged foods. Identifying the most promising type of label among Latino adults could inform federal regulation, given high rates of diet-related disease in Latino populations. Additionally, exploring English-language label effects among populations with limited English proficiency could inform equitable label design.
