Summary

This completed pilot study tested whether adding climate-impact labels to fast-food menus influences the healthfulness of people's meal choices. Over 6,600 adults in the U.S. completed a hypothetical online ordering task, viewing menus with different label designs. The goal was to see if such labels could nudge consumers toward healthier and more climate-friendly options.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Climate impact menu labels (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If effective, these labels could help people make more nutritious and environmentally friendly fast-food choices.
What could go wrong
This was a small, hypothetical online ordering task, not a real-world setting. Actual behavior may differ, and the study only measured one meal choice.
