Nutritional Labeling On “Harmful” Food Products Didn’t Affect Mexican Shoppers

June 10, 2021: 12:00 AM EST
Brand consultant Kantar recently found that new obesity-fighting labeling of products considered 'harmful' has not changed the consumption habits of Mexicans. The six-month-old modification to the Official Mexican Standard (NOM) 051, designed to fight obesity and promote health eating, obliges companies to place information stamps on packaging warning of excess calories, sugar, carbohydrates, sodium, and other ingredients. Kantar found, however, that despite being implemented on a massive scale, the measure has had a very low impact on the country. The main reason is that there are no alternatives to replace these unhealthy products.
