Student survey - nutritional labelling
Hi everyone!
I'm a third year at Bath Spa Uni, doing a dissertation on nutritional labelling. I've put together an online survey which is the basis for my research, which I have kindly been allowed to post the link to here.
I'd be really grateful to anyone who takes part. The survey takes about 10 minutes, is nearly all multiple choice and asks about how you use nutrition labels on food. It's entirely anonymous, and the data won't be published anywhere - it's purely for educational purposes.

Thanks in advance!
I'll post back when it's closing.

Hi Rosey,
I filled in your survey, however your survey says that you can't go back to change any of the answers and I found I could, just by simply clicking on the back button on my browser.

Completed this. I read the list of ingredients rather than the nutritional labelling. Maybe that's because most of those labels appear on chilled ready prepared meals? I hardly ever buy those.

Re: Student survey - nutritional labelling
I had a go and it threw me out halfway through
Most of my answers were "no prefernce" though, as I didn't think there was any real difference between the 5 products pictured - not enough to influence my behaviour

Re: Student survey - nutritional labelling
I know what you mean Sue, it was difficult to chose between the products.
Re: Student survey - nutritional labelling
Done. Similar to jaybird that ingredients are more important - don't you wish they were easier to read? Also, with Stokey Sue that there's little difference on the flash signs, although as voluntary it would make sense if there were a single standardised one.
Other questions I wonder about Joe Public
Q: If you know a product tastes nice and will get eaten, do you still consider the flash labelling information?
No, Sometimes, or Yes.
Q: Does the flash labelling information influence how frequently you buy a product?
No, Sometimes, or Yes.
Q: Are your answers relative to buying for someone on a low-fat, low-sugar or low-salt diet?
No, Some products, Yes.
Best wishes Rosey.

Re: Student survey - nutritional labelling
Just done the survey.
I have to say I have issues with some foods being labelled 'healthier' than others; I would never not eat something because it is allegedly 'unhealthy'. I've always felt that all food is healthy, just that some is better for me if eaten in smaller quantities than others. A bit simplistic, maybe, but it works for me.

Re: Student survey - nutritional labelling
Seeing a label telling me something is healthy is the first thing that sends me to the nutrition label. All too often the 'healthy' aspect is balanced by something I wouldn't want to eat. For example, many low sugar products contain sweeteners which I would rather avoid and low fat dairy products often contain gums and thickeners which are quite high in calories.
