The purpose of this project is to systematically review and synthesize empirical research regarding why consumers consider the origin of the food important, how and why it influences consumers' choices, or how and why consumers do or do not understand, interpret and trust information on the origin of food. The specific objectives were expressed in three research questions: 1. Does the origin of a food influence purchase decisions and consumption, and if so, how? 2. Why do consumers find it important to know the origin of the foods they purchase or consume? 3. How do consumers understand and interpret information on the origin of food?

Abstract: The issues raised by the Food and Drug Administration, USDA, and the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection in reaching joint decisions regarding food labeling are discussed. While no definite enforcement plans were decided upon, it was agreed that all ingredients must be declared on the labels of standized foods. The agencies suggest further study before ruling on the necessity of requiring such labels on foods sold to restaurants. In addition the quantitative listing of ingredients is encouraged on products. Policies permitting the grouping of products instead of separate listings will be restricted. A simplified format of the label itself is recommended to improve the communication of nutrition information to the consumer. Including information (such as potassium, sugar, fiber and cholesterol content) with the sodium content of a product is also recommended.

Consumers increasingly seek information on food labels to help them make healthy food choices, and they rely on federal agencies to ensure that such information is truthful. Food companies may use health- and/or nutrient-related claims on food labels to appeal to consumers, distinguish their products from their competitors', and otherwise increase their sales. However, when those claims are false or misleading, consumers' efforts to select healthy food may be undermined. This book provides an overview of FDA protocols to reassess its approach in detecting and protecting consumers from false or misleading claims on food labelling.

Abstract: In 1978, the FDA's Division of Consumer Studies inthe Bureau of Foods began a consumer research program on food labeling: the research included a national survey of 1,374 consumers using at-home, face-to-face interviews. Nearly all shoppers are aware of such labeling, but only 75%pay it any attention. The ingredients list, not the nutrition label, is cited as the most important source of food information. The ingredients list is predominatly used to avoid specific substances, i.e. sugar, salt, fats and artifical ingredients. The largest dissatisfaction with foodlabel information is the use of technical and chemical terminology. Labeling changes desired include quantifying the ingredients list (in percentages), including calorie information, and specifying which spices and artifical flavors are used. Fear motivates most attention paid to foodlabels. Details on the sample and the questionnaire are included.
