This paper describes a study that assesses some changes in nutrition labels resulting from provisions of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA). Type of nutrition label, nutritional value, and presence (absence) of a nutrition “warning” are tested in a between subjects experimental design. Results indicate that additional nutrition information recommended by the NLEA can significantly affect nutrition attitudes, perceptions, and self‐reported product purchase likelihood.
