研究包装特征对儿童对食品的感知的相对影响仍然是必要的，以帮助政策的设计和制定。本工作的目的是评估两个前包装（FOP）的营养标签计划，交通灯系统和智利的警告系统，标签设计对儿童的选择两个流行的零食在乌拉圭，威化饼干和橙子汁的相对影响。来自蒙得维的亚（乌拉圭）12所小学4至6年级的442名儿童参加了这项研究。他们被要求完成一个选择联合任务与威化饼干和橙子汁标签，不同的标签设计和FOP营养信息的列入。一半的孩子完成了任务，具有交通灯系统的标签（n = 217），另一半的标签具有智利警告系统（n = 225）。儿童对威化饼干和果汁标签的选择受到标签设计和FOP营养标签的显着影响。FOP营养标签对儿童选择的相对影响是更高的警告系统相比，交通灯系统。从目前的工作结果强调，需要规范包装的设计和列入营养声称，并提供初步证据的警告，以阻止儿童的选择不健康的产品的潜力。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Research on the relative influence of package features on children's perception of food products is still necessary to aid policy design and development. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the relative influence of two front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labelling schemes, the traffic light system and Chilean warning system, and label design on children's choice of two popular snack foods in Uruguay, wafer cookies and orange juice. A total of 442 children in grades 4 to 6 from 12 primary schools in Montevideo (Uruguay) participated in the study. They were asked to complete a choice-conjoint task with wafer cookies and orange juice labels, varying in label design and the inclusion of FOP nutrition information. Half of the children completed the task with labels featuring the traffic-light system (n = 217) and the other half with labels featuring the Chilean warning system (n = 225). Children's choices of wafer cookies and juice labels was significantly influenced by both label design and FOP nutritional labels. The relative impact of FOP nutritional labelling on children's choices was higher for the warning system compared to the traffic-light system. Results from the present work stress the need to regulate the design of packages and the inclusion of nutrient claims, and provide preliminary evidence of the potential of warnings to discourage children's choice of unhealthful products.
