Nutritional information serves as a vital bridge between food science and consumer decision-making, influencing dietary choices and public health outcomes. Clear and accurate labeling empowers consumers to evaluate product quality and make informed selections. Nutritional Labeling and Consumer Behavior examines how front-of-pack labels, ingredient lists, and health claims shape consumer perceptions and purchasing patterns. The book explores labeling regulations, psychological factors in food choice, and the role of digital tools in promoting transparency. It also discusses global initiatives toward standardized nutrition communication. Integrating behavioral science with nutrition policy, it provides valuable insights for food technologists, marketers, and health educators.
