According to the World Health Organization (WHO), effective nutrition labelling has been identified as a key strategy to address the global epidemic of diet-related noncommunicable diseases. This demonstrates just how much food labelling impacts food choices, serving as a critical communication tool between manufacturers and consumers that influences purchasing decisions and, ultimately, public health.

In January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed a new rule that would require a mandatory front-of-package 'Nutrition Info box' on packaged foods. This initiative is designed to help consumers, particularly those with low nutrition literacy, make faster and more informed food purchasing decisions by highlighting key nutrients of concern.
