  • Measuring the Value of Information in Nuval Shelf Nutrition Label Feifei Liang, North Carolina State University Chen Zhen, Unive
    Measuring the Value of Information in NuVal Shelf Nutrition Label Feifei Liang, North Carolina State University Chen Zhen, University of Georgia Xiaoyong Zheng, North Carolina State University July 2017 Abstract The objective of this study is to estimate the value of information provided by the NuVal shelf nutrition label ―a prominent example of a new interpretive approach to front-of-package nutrition labeling that provides a multiple-level nutrition symbol. The rollout of NuVal at a supermarket in a Midwest town allowed us to estimate a mixed logit demand model for yogurt using household and barcode-level scanner data. We found the NuVal label promoted purchases of healthier yogurts. The average value of NuVal information in the yogurt category is estimated to be about 3% of total expenditures on yogurt. There is evidence suggesting that households who made less use of conventional nutrition labels prior to NuVal rollout may stand to benefit more from NuVal labels. Overall, our results indicate that there is a significant willingness to pay, on the part of consumers, for a universal adoption of an interpretive multiple-level shelf or front-of-package nutrition symbol. Acknowledgment: This research was supported by USDA-NIFA Hatch Grants 02375 and 02598 and a grant from Healthy Eating Research, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The diet for the majority of the U.S. population does not meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) (USDA and DHHS, 2010). Per capita caloric intake from solid fats and added sugars exceeds the recommended limit by 180%, the highest percentage of foods and food components consumed excessively by Americans, followed by refined grains (100%) and sodium (49%) (USDA and DHHS, 2010).

    How to Understand and Use the Nutrition Facts Label Information covered in this document: ● The Nutrition Facts Panel - An Overview ● The Serving Size ● Calories (and Calories from Fat) ● The Nutrients: How Much? ● Understanding the Footnote ● How the Daily Values (DV) Relate to the %DVs ● The Percent Daily Value (%DV) ● Quick Guide to %DV ● Nutrients With a %DV but No Weight Listed - Spotlight on Calcium ● Nutrients Without a %DV: Trans Fats, Protein, and Sugars People look at food labels for different reasons. But whatever the reason, many consumers would like to know how to use this information more effectively and easily. The following label-building skills are intended to make it easier for you to use nutrition labels to make quick, informed food choices that contribute to a healthy diet. The Nutrition Facts Label - An Overview: The information in the main or top section (see #1-4 and #6 on the sample nutrition label below), can vary with each food product; it contains product-specific information (serving size, calories, and nutrient information). The bottom part (see #5 on the sample label below) contains a footnote with Daily Values (DVs) for 2,000 and 2,500 calorie diets. This footnote provides recommended dietary information for important nutrients, including fats, sodium and fiber. The footnote is found only on larger packages and does not change from product to product. In the following Nutrition Facts label we have colored certain sections to help you focus on those areas that will be explained in detail. You will not see these colors on the food labels on products you purchase.
