First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a warning label that a food is ultraprocessed helps parents in Chile choose healthier options. Over 3,600 parents were shown similar products, some with the extra label, and asked if they would buy them and if they thought the food was ultraprocessed. The goal was to see if these labels change buying intentions and help people recognize highly processed foods.
