Nutrition labels should be placed in the centre of food packaging, rather than in one corner, if shoppers are going to read them, says a US study. Using an eye-tracking device, researchers from Minnesota also found that the average consumer only reads the top part of a food content label. They studied 204 people while looking at 64 different grocery products on a computer screen. The Journal of the American Dietetic Association published the results. In the study, participants were asked to view three elements on a typical food product - the nutrition contents label, a picture and list of ingredients, and a description of the product with price and quantity information - on the left, on the right or in the centre of the packaging. One third of the participants each saw the nutrition label in one of those positions and were asked whether they would consider buying the product. Participants were aware that their eye movements would be tracked, but unaware that the study was investigating nutrition information. 9. What is the study about?
