Clear and accurate nutrition labeling on food products is an important way for consumers to understand what’s in the foods they buy. This new comprehensive review in Frontiers led by partners at the National Heart Foundation of Bangladesh and co-authored by Resolve to Save Lives shows that governments are scaling up action to help consumers make informed food choices especially through front-of-package labels (FOPL). Research in the field shows that the most effective FOPL is mandatory; uses a black and white warning label design to flag products high in sodium, sugar, and saturated fat; and is developed free from any conflicts of interest.
