To the same context, a survey was done to find out if consumers, in Indore city, have knowledge of nutrition information on food package labels when shopping and to what extent they use that knowledge to choose foods to buy. A total of 838 individuals participated in the survey. The results provide information on consumers’ awareness, knowledge, and use of food labels, as well as their ability to interpret nutrition information appropriately and make food choices accordingly. These results are expected to help in explaining the reasons that contribute to food choices made by consumers and in coming up with recommendations that will guarantee that consumers are well informed on the nutrition information and can use it whenever they want. The findings of this survey could form the basis for a mass population approach for future information and education strategies for health professionals and other stakeholders interested in consumer awareness activities.
