Nutrition labels are a low-cost tool with the potential to encourage healthy eating habits. Investigate correlates of frequent Nutrition Facts use, describe the types of label information most often used, and measure how label use relates to dietary intake in young adults. Cross-sectional population-based study of young adults participating in Project EAT-IV (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults). Surveys and food frequency questionnaires were completed in 2015–2016 by young adults (N=1817, weighted sample: 49% women) ages 25–36. Nutrition Facts use, frequency of using specific information on labels, dietary intake. Relative risks and adjusted means were used to examine how demographic, behavioral, and weight-related factors were associated with Nutrition Facts use, and how label use related to dietary outcomes. Associations with p-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Almost a third (31.4%) of participants used Nutrition Facts labels ‘frequently.’ Use was significantly higher for women, for participants with high education and income, among those who prepared food regularly, were physically active, were classified as overweight, and were trying to lose, gain, or maintain weight. Label components used most often included total calories (73.1%), sugars (72.9%), serving size (68.9%), and the ingredient list (65.7%). Nutrition Facts users consumed significantly more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and fewer sugar-sweetened beverages compared to non-frequent users. Nutrition Facts users ate significantly more frequently at sit-down restaurants but less frequently at fast-food restaurants compared to non-users. While Nutrition Facts use was associated with markers of better dietary quality in a population-based sample of young adults, only a third of participants used labels frequently. Methods to improve label use should be studied, particularly through leveraging weight- or health-related goals (e.g., interest in making healthier food choices), and meeting consumer preferences concerning label content.
