“…These findings contribute to our understanding of the effectiveness of FoP nutrition labels from a public policy perspective and build on research that notes the superiority of simpler evaluative labels (e.g., Crosetto, Muller, and Ruffieux 2016;Dubois et al 2020;Ducrot et al 2016;Julia et al 2016;Newman, Howlett, and Burton 2016;Poquet et al 2020). We assess the effectiveness of a feature of evaluative cues that has received scant research attention (for an exception, see Andrews, Burton, and Kees [2011]).…”

“…Public policy makers in Europe also have adopted broader color spectra for classifying food products, known as the Nutri-Score, or 5C, nutrition system (Agence National de Santé Publique 2017). Both 3C (Olstad et al 2015;Thorndike et al 2014) and 5C (Crosetto, Muller, and Ruffieux 2016;Dubois et al 2020;Ducrot et al 2016;Julia et al 2016;Poquet et al 2020) labeling interventions have positive effects, but the 5C nutrition label classifies foods into five grades of nutritional quality, from A (dark green = healthiest) to E (red = unhealthiest). Compared with the 3C nutrition label, it gives consumers a broader spectrum of nutrition rankings, which should enable them to distinguish products' healthiness more precisely (Lissitz and Green 1975).…”

The adoption of front-of-package (FoP) nutrition labels to promote healthier food choices is increasing worldwide, yet it remains unclear which types of nutrition labels are superior from a public policy perspective. This research compares two common forms of evaluative FoP nutrition labels that vary in the number of colors and corresponding letters they display (three colors, A—C [3C] vs. five colors, A—E [5C]). Four studies, including a field study with vending machines and a study in an experimental supermarket using eye-tracking, show that compared with the 3C label and no label (control) conditions, the 5C label enhances purchase intentions and choices of healthy alternatives. In particular, the 5C nutrition label is superior because it provides more information that helps consumers discriminate the products’ healthiness. This ability to discriminate healthiness modifies consumers’ perceived healthiness of products and influences both their purchase intentions and choice of healthy food options.

“…For many, this eating occasion is a moment of pleasure and sweet foods are usually consumed [ 41 ]. Despite the adequate structure surrounding the mid-afternoon snack in France, it is therefore still advisable to encourage parents to limit children’s choices of snacks that are high in energy and encourage the consumption of a range of healthier snacks, without sacrificing the pleasure that comes with this eating moment [ 42 ].…”

Large portion sizes can make children overeat, alter their self-regulation abilities and induce weight gain. However, little is known about how parents determine portion sizes for their children. Using semi-structured interviews with 5 fathers and 32 mothers of pre-schoolers, this study examined French parents’ food portioning practices. The division of responsibility between parent and child in deciding portion sizes was explored, as well as the influencing factors and possible sources of information. Parents described a wide range of practices. For most, determining portion sizes is an intuitive action that depends on habits and mainly arises from experiences with feeding their child and his/her appetitive traits. Few parents grant autonomy to their child for portioning and serving food, especially for the first serving. Many influencing factors were identified, including child-related (e.g., appetite, food preferences), parent-related (e.g., avoiding food waste), and external factors (e.g., influence of siblings, French food culture). Most parents do not search for information/recommendations to guide their practices. Stimulating optimal self-regulation of eating in children is important and parents can play a crucial role in this. This study identified barriers and facilitators to guide parents in providing appropriate portion sizes and help include children in this decision process.

Fruit and cereal bars are the response to the changing needs of consumers seeking health-promoting and convenient products. A cross-sectional study was conducted using the CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) method, with 1034 respondents consuming products of this kind. The aims of the study were 1/to identify consumer segments based on the importance they attached to the selected attributes of fruit and cereal bars and 2/to characterize the identified segments in terms of frequency and reasons for the consumption of fruit and cereal bars, views on their impact on health, and consumer behavior related to the selected lifestyle elements. Five distinct consumer clusters were identified. Involved and Health-oriented were more likely to consume bars, perceiving them as nutritious products, with a positive impact on health. Frugal and Visual consumed fruit and cereal bars the least frequently. They paid little attention to choosing healthier products in daily diet and physical activity. The Information seekers consumed bars to reduce stress and to improve their mood.
