Abstract: This data collection is designed to assist the agency in developing labeling information to help consumers make informed dietary decisions. Two independent studies using state-of-the-art eye-tracking equipment and techniques will collect data on how consumers view and use labeling information Study 1 is an experimental study in which 200 consumers at four different geographical locations will view a series of label images on a computer screen and be asked to (1) choose between two products, (2) rate the nutrition characteristics of a single product, or (3) calculate intakes of selected nutrients. Study 2 is an observational study in which 60 grocery shoppers at two different geographical locations will be asked to shop as they would normally do, and will be conducted in real stores.
