How is nutrition menu labeling useful to customers?
Providing basic nutrition information provides consumers with information to help them to make the menu choices that are right for them. • About half of adult consumers report that using food package nutrition information led them to change their mind about buying a food product. • Research studies have found that using food labels is associated with eating a more healthful diet. • Studies have documented that without nutrition information available, it is difficult to estimate the caloric content of restaurant foods. • Studies have found that about two-thirds of consumers support having nutrition information on menus or menu boards at chain restaurants.
