Front-of-pack nutrition labels: an equitable public health intervention

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2022
AbstractIt is important for nutrition interventions to be equitable to ensure they do not widen socioeconomic health-based inequalities. The role of front-of-pack nutrition labels is to provide accessible and easily understood information on product packages, and it is essential that such labels assist those who are least able to access and interpret ...

Global Governance of Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labelling: A Qualitative Analysis [PDF]

Nutrients, 2019
The Codex Alimentarius has approved ongoing work for international guidance on front-of-pack (FoP) nutrition labelling, which is a core intervention for prevention of diet-related noncommunicable disease. This guidance will have implications for national policy decision-making regarding this important public health issue.

Consumers' responses to front-of-pack labels that vary by interpretive content [PDF]

Appetite, 2016
Previous research has shown that front-of-pack labels (FoPLs) can assist people to make healthier food choices if they are easy to understand and people are motivated to use them. There is some evidence that FoPLs providing an assessment of a food's health value (evaluative FoPLs) are easier to use than those providing only numerical information on ...

Symbolic Regression and Multi‐Objective Optimization of the Flory–Huggins Interaction Parameter for Hydrogels

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We develop a data‐driven method to derive the mathematical expressions of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ for the swelling behavior of temperature–responsive hydrogels. Starting from initial assumptions of χ, our workflow combines Bayesian optimization, Flory–Rehner theory, and symbolic regression to generate candidate χ expressions.
