The Myth of Misleading Labels: Examining Consumer Understanding of Plant-based Meat and Milk Analogues - Journal of Consumer Policy Recent legal and policy efforts have aimed at changing plant-based meat and milk product analogue labels to reduce consumer confusion. These proposed changes assume (a) that there is confusion about key aspects of plant-based products, and (b) that the proposed changes will fix that confusion if it exists. In Experiments 1a (N = 380) and 1b (N = 246), we provide evidence that there is little confusion about plant-based products when participants are presented with product labels about key product facts (e.g., contains animals, contains lactose). In Experiment 2 (N = 250), changing labels seemingly in accordance with proposed policies did little to reduce confusion but did decrease confidence in those judgments and made it more difficult to know what to use that product for or what the product would taste like. In Experiment 3 (N = 311), those results were replicated in a jurisdiction specific sample taken from residents of Texas. These results suggest that prominent proposals to change plant-based meat and milk analogue labels may be unnecessary and, in some cases, could be harmful.

New from Ethical Interactions Lab in Journal of Consumer Policy (2025):
“The myths of misleading labels: Examining consumer understanding of plant-based meat and milk analogues.”
We test what shoppers understand and what that means for labeling debates.👏
