本文探讨了营养标签的使用和消费者的健康食品选择之间的联系。标签使用被认为是目前在食品上发现的两种主要类型的标签：营养成分面板和营养/健康声明。使用三方程多变量概率单位模型测试这种联系。数据是从两个中等规模的西班牙城市进行的特别调查。结果表明，消费者使用的营养信息，无论是事实面板或声称标签，影响消费者选择健康食品的程度相同，虽然不同类型的消费者使用的各种类型的标签考虑。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper examines the link between nutrition label use and consumers' healthier food choices. Label use is considered for the two main types of labels currently found on food products: nutrition facts panels and nutrition/health claims. This link is tested using a three-equation multivariate probit model. Data were obtained from an ad hoc survey conducted in two medium-sized Spanish cities. The results indicate that the use of nutrition information by consumers, whether this involves the fact panel or the claim labels, does influence consumer choice of healthier food products to the same extent, although different types of consumers use the various types of labels considered.
