Effect of front-of-package information, fruit imagery, sugar warning on parent beverage choices for children

JAMA Network

About The Study: The findings of this randomized clinical trial of 5,000 parents of children age 5 and younger suggest that added sugar warnings and prohibitions of front-of-package claims and imagery may reduce parents' purchases of high-added sugar beverages for their young children but that percentage juice disclosures may not change behavior.
