Objective: The increasing trend of obesity around the world highlights the role of nutrition labels in processed food to help consumers make informed and healthy food choices. The objective of this review is to know if the use of nutrition labelling translates to healthy diet. Methods: The search terms nutrition labels, nutrition packaging, healthy diet, processed food were used to look for published researches dated 2010 onwards. Pubmed and Google Scholar were the search engines used. Studies that are identified were checked for it’s validity such as using an adequate number of sample size and appropriate statistical methods. A total of 12 published researches were included. Results: Studies provide evidence that nutrition label use can lead to a healthier diet such as less fat, salt, sugar and high fiber intake. Although there is a positive relationship between the two variables, studies also identified factors that hinders nutrition label use. Across different study sites, the factors identified are the same and often it cannot be controlled by nutrition labelling programs. The factors are interest in healthy eating, age, socioeconomic status, education and time. A meta analysis cannot be done because of different variables used in the studies. Conclusion: Nutrition labelling use can possibly lead to a healthier dietary intake but researches using robust study designs have to be done to know the true relationship between the two variables. Mandatory nutrition labelling with nutrition education can be an effective strategy in promoting the use of nutrition labels for healthier food choices.
