1
Data presented have been weighted. FOP, front-of-package; NFt, Nutrition Facts table; NVS, Newest Vital Sign.
2
Scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores representing greater understanding of Nutrition Facts tables.
3
The 5-country sample size for self-reported NFt understanding was n = 21,586; for self-reported FOP label understanding in 3 countries, n = 12,360.
4
Self-reported NFt label understanding means reflect 5-country mean (n = 21,586); FOP label means reflect 3-country mean for Australia, Mexico, and the United Kingdom only.
