BACKGROUND
Overweight and obesity have been described as a global epidemic that seriously affects the health of adults and children. Front of Package (FOP) Nutrition Labeling can increase consumers' awareness of unhealthy foods. The purpose of this study is to find effective deterrence and improve children's health awareness via the FOP.
METHODS
This study examined children's health awareness of snack packaging using the four labels: guideline daily amounts (GDA), traffic light system (TLS), Apple label (designed in this study), and Warning label. This study recruited 343 children in the sixth grade, including 223 children living in cities and 120 children living in rural areas. First, 30 children in grades 3 to 6 selected 8 snacks that they often buy. Then, each snack was synthesized into these four labels according to their nutritional content for a total of 32 samples. Finally, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the health of snack packaging and the visibility of nutrition labels.
RESULTS
Four results can be drawn: (1) GDA, Apple label and TLS can help children determine healthier snack choices, (2) black Warning label cannot induce children to make healthier choices, (3) children who often buy snacks have low health awareness, and (4) rural children have weak health awareness of snack packaging.
CONCLUSIONS
These results can provide a packaging label design, which can effectively improve children's health awareness.
背景
超重和肥胖已被描述为一种全球性的流行病，严重影响着成年人和儿童的健康。包装正面标签（FOP）营养标签可以提高消费者对不健康食品的认识。本研究的目的是通过 FOP 找到有效的威慑措施，提高儿童的健康意识。
方法
本研究使用四种标签（每日摄入量指南 GDA、红绿灯系统 TLS、苹果标签[本研究设计]和警告标签）来研究儿童对零食包装的健康意识。本研究招募了 343 名六年级学生，包括 223 名城市儿童和 120 名农村儿童。首先，3 至 6 年级的 30 名儿童选择了他们经常购买的 8 种零食。然后，根据每种零食的营养成分，将其合成到这四种标签中，总共 32 个样本。最后，使用问卷评估零食包装的健康状况和营养标签的可见性。
结果
可以得出四个结果：（1）GDA、苹果标签和 TLS 可以帮助儿童确定更健康的零食选择；（2）黑色警告标签不能诱导儿童做出更健康的选择；（3）经常购买零食的儿童健康意识较低；（4）农村儿童对零食包装的健康意识较弱。
结论
这些结果可以为包装标签设计提供参考，有效提高儿童的健康意识。
