Abstract

We analyse the effect of front-of-package nutrition labelling using the example of France, where Nutri-Score was adopted in 2017. Our focus is on changes in available products, i.e. on producer choices rather than consumer choices. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we find that products introduced or altered after the change receive better Nutri-Score ratings than those introduced before the adoption, indicating a shift to items that are healthier overall. In addition, there is some evidence of bunching at the cutoffs for better Nutri-Score grades, which suggests that the improvements are at least in part a strategic reaction to the Nutri-Score introduction.

包装前营养标签对产品成分的影响

我们以法国为例分析了包装前营养标签的影响，法国于 2017 年采用了 Nutri-Score。我们的重点是现有产品的变化，即生产者的选择而非消费者的选择。通过采用差分法，我们发现，与采用前相比，变革后推出或改变的产品获得了更好的 Nutri-Score 评分，这表明产品转向了总体上更健康的产品。此外，还有一些证据表明，在较好的营养分数等级的临界点上出现了扎堆现象，这表明营养分数的提高至少在一定程度上是对营养分数引入的策略性反应。
