Abstract

Nutritional information labels help us make informed decisions about what we eat and give to others. Everyday people are empowered to make informed health decisions and tailor their options to suit personal preferences. Nutritional information helps customers make informed food purchases. Understanding and adhering to food labels will ensure a healthy body and a clear mind for a consumer. Therefore, the purpose is to study on knowledge of nutrition facts on food labels and their impact on food choices on consumers at Sungai Petani, Kedah. The data was collected using a questionnaire and a cross checklist through survey. This study involves approximately (n= 300) respondents and local foods throughout this study. Using the Food Regulation 1985 as a guide, the labels on local foods have been checked to make sure they meet the rules. Aside from that, most foods on the market meet the standards set by the Food Registration Act of 1985. IBM Statistics for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to figure out the frequency and percentage of the data, which shows that most people who buy food are aware of nutrient facts thanks to complete food labels.
