Consumer preferences for evaluative front-of-package nutrition labels: evidence from a choice experiment in China.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study examines consumer preferences, behaviors, and willingness to pay (WTP) for evaluative front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labels in China, with a particular focus on the role of information provision in influencing consumer behavior. A choice experiment was conducted involving ham sausages with different evaluative nutrition labels, including the Health Star Rating and Nutrition Score System, among 998 participants from five representative cities in China. The choice experiment also incorporates an information intervention to assess its impact on consumers' choice. A random parameter logit model was employed to estimate consumers preferences and WTP for the different evaluative FOP labels. The results show that consumers exhibit a higher preference for ham sausages with evaluative FOP nutrition labels compared to those without any labels. The Nutrition Score System emerges as the most preferred labeling format. Furthermore, under information intervention, consumers exhibit the highest WTP for evaluative FOP labels, with 2.47 yuan for the Health Star Rating (124% premium) and 2.77 yuan for the Nutrition Score System (138% premium). These findings suggest a substantial demand among Chinese consumers for evaluative FOP nutrition labels and underscore the importance of providing related information to enhance consumer acceptance and promote healthier food-choice behavior.
