After conducting focus groups<\/a> to test and determine the most effect shape, color, and style for the proposed warning labels, researchers in South Africa conducted a randomized controlled trial<\/a> to test the warning label alongside a traffic light label and Guideline Daily Amounts label. This experiment was led by Rina Swart as part of a Department of Health task force. UWC compiled an extensive technical report that summarized all of their research on nutrient profiling models and front-of-package labels, which they presented to the National Department of Health with their evidence-based policy recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Health released a draft front-of-package warning label regulation<\/a> in April 2023, which was originally open for public comment through July 2023.
