Food labelling from consumers' perspectives: a review

Food labelling is critical in disseminating information of food products between the customers and the food producers. Information about the ingredients on food labels helps consumers to understand better and make healthier food choices. As food labelling is crucial, businesses must understand how to design food labels that influence the consumers' choices. As such, it is imperative to understand the consumers' perspectives on food labelling. This review aims to highlight the consumers' perspectives on the information on food labels. Electronic searches in Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed/Medline, and Cochrane databases were undertaken to find peer-reviewed literature on food labelling and related articles. The findings can contribute to developing new designs in food labels that effectively portray and provide adequate nutritional information to consumers
