What Matters Most on the Label: How Food Label Regulations Intersect with what Consumers Want and Think

July 23, 2026

Learn what consumers want from food labels and how evolving regulations are shaping the future of labeling.

Food labels are becoming more important than ever, yet consumers’ understanding of them varies dramatically across age groups, and regulatory expectations continue to evolve. This webinar explores how consumers interpret both mandatory and voluntary elements of the food label, what they value most, and where confusion is creating risk for brands.

  • What information on a food label is required by regulation versus voluntary.
  • How consumers value and interpret different label elements.
  • Where the largest generational knowledge gaps exist and why education matters.
  • Practical strategies for designing labels that support consumer trust and informed decisions.
