Food Labelling Clinical Trial
Official title:
Impact of a Front-of-pack Nutrition Label on the Nutritional Quality of Purchases in Campus Cafeteria
This study evaluates the impact of the introduction of a front-of-pack nutrition label on foods and beverages sold in a campus cafeteria in France on the nutritional quality of purchases.
The introduction of front-of-package nutrition labelling is thought to help consumers making
healthier food choices at the point-of-purchase.
Recently, the French government has selected the Nutri-Score as single front-of-pack
nutrition label.
Evaluations of the Nutri-Score suggest it is in helping consumers making healthier choices.
However, its impact in vulnerable populations has not yet been tested. Students are thought
to be a vulnerable population due to their limited resources and to their unhealthy food
choices.
The objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of the introduction of the
Nutri-Score in campus cafeterias on the nutritional quality of food purchases. The
intervention is conducted during several months, with a control period without front-of-pack
nutrition labelling at the beginning of the university year.
Data on purchases is collected regularly through receipts, and the nutritional quality of
purchases is evaluated over time between the intervention situation and the control
situation.
