May contain ...

How consumers/patients respond to labelling foods with "may contain" warnings is the subject of a qualitative study in BMC Public Health. A study from the US suggests that consumers' self reported attention to nutrition labelling doesn't match the reality. Published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the study used an eye-tracking device to measure behaviour, particularly considering label positioning. Closer to home, the Coeliac Society offers commissioners some guidance on community pharmacy supply of gluten free foods.
