Chile applied a similar policy in 2016. Clear warnings are displayed in high fructose / high fat processed food.
According to at least a study, consumption of soft drinks with sugar added decreased by 25% in about 2 years.
The sellers tried to avoid having the warnings so they decreased their sugar levels in their foods as well.
- glaugh 7y agoYour comment is the only one I’ve seen cite data so far. I couldn’t quickly find that study. Can you cite it? I did find this reference to a more qualitative but I think still useful study: https://www.foodnavigator-latam.com/Article/2019/02/20/Chile-s-food-regulations-are-changing-the-country-s-eating-habits https://www.foodnavigator-latam.com/Article/2019/02/20/Chile...

These articles, from what I consider some reputable sources cite the study (in Spanish), which original version I could not find: http://www.economiaynegocios.cl/noticias/noticias.asp?id=549236 http://www.economiaynegocios.cl/noticias/noticias.asp?id=549... https://inta.cl/estudio-muestra-que-la-ley-de-etiquetados-esta-cambiando-las-percepciones-de-los-alimentos-las-normas-y-los-comportamientos/ https://inta.cl/estudio-muestra-que-la-ley-de-etiquetados-es... http://www.uchile.cl/noticias/149365/ley-de-etiquetado-baja-el-consumo-de-bebidas-azucaradas-y-cereales http://www.uchile.cl/noticias/149365/ley-de-etiquetado-baja-...
