Interpretation and use of portion information

How do consumers interpret and use portion information on food and drink packaging? Listen in to EUFIC

In this webinar with Q&A session, Dr. Monique Raats from the University of Surrey will discuss key findings from EUFIC’s pan-European study on consumer understanding and use of portion information on food and drink packages.The provision of nutritional information on a per portion basis forms an important part of current discussions regarding new legislation on food labelling. There is no official definition of a portion. Research is missing on what consumers consider a portion to be, what it should be based on, how a portion should be defined and who should define it, or whether portion information would help them understand nutrition information.On this background, EUFIC carried out a pan-European study with Dr Monique Raats from the University of Surrey, England, addressing:1. Consumers’ concept of a portion, and understanding of who establishes them and how2. How portion size information affects interpretations of nutrition information3. How portion information on packaging helps consumers to use nutrition information4. How product size influences the perception of what constitutes a portion.In this webinar, Dr. Raats will summarise the key findings of the study, following a brief introduction by Dr. Josephine Wills, Director General of EUFIC.
