Comments

Risk with no labelling

Risk with nutritional labelling

Food purchased from vending machines
assessed with: diet soda beverages/week
Follow‐up: 5 weeks a

Although more beverages were purchased in the labelling group, large baseline imbalances arising from a small number of randomised units meant that an accurate effect size could not be calculated.

(1 RCT)

⊕⊝⊝⊝
Very lowb

Sample size unknown (population purchasing from 3 intervention and 2 control public vending machines)

Food purchased from a grocery store
assessed with: calorie‐healthy foods as % of sales
Follow‐up: 94 months

Sales performance decreased after labelling was introduced in this interrupted time series study, although this was difficult to interpret because results were measured as health foods as a proportion of overall foods, rather than directly measuring the number of products purchased.

(1 ITS study)

⊕⊝⊝⊝
Very lowc

Sample size unknown (population purchasing from a large chain of grocery stores)

Food purchased in restaurants (labels on menus) assessed with: kcal
Follow‐up: range 2 weeks to 19 weeks

The median food purchased in restaurants was 746 kcald

MD 46.72 kcal fewer (78.35 fewer to 15.10 fewer)e

1877
(3 RCTs)

⊕⊕⊝⊝
Lowf

Six additional studies (one Q‐RCT and 5 ITS studies which took place in a restaurant, cafeterias or coffee shops) also measured purchasing, 2 of which were ITS studies at low risk of bias (which assessed energy labels on menus/menu boards in a coffee shop or cafeteria) and found results consistent with this meta‐analysis.

Food consumed in laboratory settings (labels on menus or labels placed on a range of food options)
assessed with: kcal

The median food consumed in laboratory settings was 796.4 kcald

MD 50.27 kcal fewer (104.41 fewer to 3.88 more)

1705
(8 RCTs)

⊕⊕⊝⊝
Lowg

Food consumed in laboratory settings (single snack food or drink option)
assessed with: kcal

The median food consumed in laboratory settings was 316.975 kcald

SMD 0.05 (95% CI −0.17 to 0.27), P = 0.67

732
(6 RCTs)

⊕⊕⊝⊝
Lowh

An SMD of 0.05 represents a small effect (Cohen 1988).

Potential harms (high‐energy snack foods consumed with misleading low fat/energy labels in laboratory settings)
assessed with: kcal

The median food consumed with misleading low fat/energy labels in laboratory settings was 190 kcald

SMD of 0.19 (95% CI −0.14to 0.51), P = 0.25

831
(5 RCTs)

⊕⊝⊝⊝
Very lowi

An SMD of 0.19 represents a small effect (Cohen 1988).

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio; OR: odds ratio.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate quality: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low quality: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low quality: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect

aAll outcomes measuring immediate purchasing or consumption decisions at the point of exposure to the label, although returning customers in non‐laboratory settings may have experienced repeat exposure during the study period.
bDowngraded by two levels for very serious risk of bias and one level for a high degree of imprecision given no useful effect estimate could be calculated.
cRating begins at 'low' as this is an observational study. Downgraded by one level for serious risk of bias, and one level for indirectness, as outcome was measured as a proportion of overall purchasing rather than directly measured.
dMedian value among the control groups in the included studies.
e Assuming this result applied consistently to a population average meal of 600 kcal, this would represent a reduction of 7.8% (95% CI 2.5% to 13.1%).
f Downgraded by two levels for very serious risk of bias.
g Downgraded by one level for imprecision, as the 95% confidence interval included the possibility of no effect and of a meaningful decrease, and by one level for indirectness, as behaviour observed in a laboratory setting may not be applicable to real‐world settings. Although five of the included studies were at unclear risk of bias, we did not downgrade for risk of bias.
hDowngraded by one level for serious risk of bias and one level for indirectness, as behaviour observed in a laboratory setting may not be applicable to real‐world settings.
iDowngraded one level for serious risk of bias, one level for heterogeneity, one level for indirectness (as behaviour observed in a laboratory setting may not be applicable to real‐world settings) and one level for imprecision (as the 95% confidence interval included the possibility of a meaningful decrease or increase).

The methods used to analyse the data were not clearly reported and an accurate effect size and confidence intervals could not be calculated.b

aThe authors also evaluated another intervention ('0 calorie, 0 carbs' plus a motivational poster encouraging the purchase of water and non‐energy‐containing soft drinks) that was not eligible for inclusion in this review.
bThere were baseline differences between the groups. In addition, we could not provide a standardised effect due to the impact of small randomised units (vending machines) on estimates of standard deviation.

Share (%) of sales of different food categories

"Regression models featuring calorie‐healthy foods consistently show [that] the relative sales performance of such items decreased after the onset of [mandatory labelling]": 'low calorie/diet/light' bottled juices = −1.538 (SE 0.191); 'light' frozen entrées = −2.601 (SE 0.373); 'light' frozen dinners = −4.507 (SE 0.963)b

Regression P values of < 0.001 indicated fewer foods with 'calorie healthy' descriptors were purchased.

aThe authors also evaluated 'vitamin C fortified' bottled juices, 'plus calcium/calcium added' juices, and 'low fat/reduced fat/fat free' cheese and cookies. These data were not eligible for inclusion in this review.
bGraphs were not presented for the foods or beverages of interest, so that re‐analysis of the data was not possible from the published paper.

Real‐world setting

Nutrition facts information on menu board (N = 14,199 entrées sold) vs no label (pre‐intervention: N = 13,951 entrées sold; post‐intervention N = 14,020 entrées sold)

Mean kcal content of entrées purchased per day

Mean energy content of entrées sold at start of the pre‐intervention period: 646.5 kcal with a slope of 0.094 kcal per day. The difference in energy content of entrées sold between the pre‐treatment last day and treatment first day was −12.4 kcal (P = 0.007). Following this reduction, the difference in slope pre‐intervention to intervention was −0.298 kcal per day, and the difference in slope intervention to post‐intervention was 1.512 kcal per day. This means that the average energy content of entrées purchased reduced immediately after the intervention, and gradually increased when the intervention was removed.

Regression P values were 0.56 (pre‐intervention to intervention slope), and 0.013 (intervention to post‐intervention slope).
