Background: Font-of-pack food labelling (FOPL) gives knowledge on the nutritional content of pre-packaged food products. It represents an important role in guiding the consumers towards healthier diets and helps in prevention of diet-related adverse health illness. Nutrition labelling on packed food is an evidence-based informative source and is proposed by World Health Organization (WHO) as a plan to avert the noncommunicable diseases. This study assessed the knowledge on FOPL among the urban adult population in Puducherry, India. Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted among 1672 adult population of Urban Puducherry using a quota sampling method among adult Urban population (18 years and above) in Puducherry, India. A predesigned, semi-structured questionnaire consisted of 3 parts was used to collect the data and for analysis. Results: Among participants, 51% were male, 35% belonged to middle class, and 53.6% had inadequate knowledge on questions related to Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations. Conclusion: The Awareness and sensitization on the importance of knowledge about the contents of food labels seem to be necessary to be reinforced for consumers. Further the importance on the habit of reading with understanding the labels for its contents must be presented for the consumers. | ||
