Consumers use food labels less frequently

Jessica Todd and Jay Variyam from USDA/ERS this month reported:

[A]lthough a majority of consumers report using nutrition labels when buying food, use has declined for most label components, including the Nutrition Facts panel and information about calories, fats, cholesterol, and sodium. By contrast, use of fiber information has increased. The decline in label use is particularly marked for the cohort of adults less than 30 years old.
