Abstract
Front-of-pack nutrition labels that reflect and convey a food's nutritional value have a dual purpose. The first one is to promote consumer demand for more nutrient-rich foods. The second one is to motivate manufacturers to improve the quality of product portfolios by removing excess calories, fat, sugar, and salt. Whether front-of-pack nutrition labels can help shape food supply or food demand is a complex question that needs to be evaluated more closely.
