FLABEL announced its final results on nutrition labelling on 31 January 2012
Nutrition labels are a potentially useful tool for enabling consumers to make healthier choices about food. However, scientific insights into how these labels are used in real-life shopping situations are limited. The pan-European project FLABEL (Food Labelling to Advance Better Education for Life) was set up to fully examine the factors which lead from labelling to dietary intake. FLABEL, which involved academic experts from eight European universities, two major retail organisations, and representatives of European consumer and industry associations, has provided state-of-the-art research on consumer behaviour and nutrition labels.
The results from this three-and-a-half-year project are available via webinar, presented by Prof. Klaus Grunert from Aarhus University, Denmark, who is FLABEL’s Scientific Advisor, following a brief introduction by Dr. Laura Fernández Celemín from EUFIC, who is the FLABEL Coordinator. Access to this webinar is free of charge but requires completing the login form. In case of questions, please send an e-mail to info@flabel.org and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
