Effects of Traffic Light Labelling and Increased Healthy Range on Beverage Choices from Vending Machines

CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the traffic light system and increased healthy range are not maximally effective when used on their own, and benefit greatly when combined, to increase healthy beverage choices. It was suggested that the provision of traffic light labels supplied the necessary nutritional information, and the increased healthy range offered greater opportunity to act in accordance with that information. In so doing, the present findings offer a promising pathway for reducing unhealthy beverage consumption.PMID:38587000 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980024000843
