Nutrition knowledge and consumer use of nutritional food labels
基于希腊雅典超市消费者的访谈数据,研究了营养知识对食品营养标签使用行为的影响,发现营养知识显著促进标签使用,并分析了社会人口因素的影响。
Factors affecting nutritional food label use in Greece are examined using primary data collected from personal interviews with consumers shopping at supermarkets in Athens. The econometric approach treats nutrition knowledge, where appropriate, as an endogenous variable when estimating the models for general label use, degree of general label use and use of information on nutrient content. The results suggest that nutrition knowledge has a strong effect on general label use, degree of use, and on use of nutrient content concerning fat, ingredients and vitamins/minerals, thus confirming the hypothesised link between consumers' nutrition knowledge and behaviour. Socio-demographic effects are also evident in all models.
