Modelling the impact of different front-of-package nutrition labels on mortality from non-communicable chronic disease
Abstract Background Front-of-Package nutrition labels (FoPLs) are intended to help reduce the incidence of nutrition-related non-communicable diseases through an improvement in diet quality. FoPLs have been shown to improve the nutritional quality of purchases and have been associated with improved...
