MWITA-PKSO-2026-005 · Evidence A · P1
Four interpretive front labels each reduced calories in hypothetical beverage and snack selections relative to calorie-only labels, with similar effects across education groups despite differing attention and trust reactions.
What this does not establish
Choices were hypothetical and limited to one beverage plus snack; the experiment does not prove purchase, consumption, persistence, stigma-free implementation or effects beyond U.S. packaged snack contexts.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Green endorsement labels changed choice despite eliciting less attention and trust than warning or activity labels, so stated label favorability did not rank behavioral effects cleanly.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
