Resumen
En todo el mundo se han diseñado diferentes tipos de información en la parte frontal del envase (FOP) para ayudar a los consumidores a evaluar la salubridad de los alimentos y promover
opciones más saludables. Se realizó un estudio en línea con consumidores mexicanos y españoles para comparar el actual sistema mexicano de etiquetado de advertencia y el europeo Nutri-Score, que ha sido adoptado por España y otros países europeos. Se pidió a 156 participantes que eligieran entre 30 comparaciones por pares. Al emplear la puntuación del perfil nutricional británico FSA/Ofcom para medir la salubridad de los productos, el sistema de etiquetado de advertencia proporcionó los resultados más precisos para determinar la salubridad de dos
marcas de yogur en comparación con la Nutri-Score y la condición de control.
