According to The Asian College of Journalism (ACJ) India has more than 600 million active internet users in 2021. Overall, 52% of the population depends on online media, including social media for news, 59% on TV, 50% on print and 63% on social media like Facebook and WhatsApp. In the present era, all the important decision-making approaches in nutrition science mostly depend on current available scientific evidence. Translation of scientific evidence to nutrition communication and marketing involves a number of challenges. As at present we are living in a time where plentiful information is available, yet sometimes causes miscommunication. Media does not give authentic information all the time and the population who are mostly affected are younger people. They tend to get influenced by the dietary information mostly. The objective of the present study was to find out the association between media influence and dietary practices and also to find out the current nutritional status of the respondent. The study was an observational descriptive study based on a pretested standardized questionnaire. This study included both males and females of a specific age group of 20-25 years. The location of the study was Kolkata, West Bengal with a sample size of 101. Alarmingly 94% of the respondents agreed that they see advertisement in the media, among them 62.1% were overweight or obese. It was observed that most of them get highly influenced by sports personalities followed by celebrities, it might be because they relate the sports celebrities more with fitness. From a health point of view there is a huge indulgence in processed foods, ready to eat foods and even junk foods. The advertisement and knowledge shared by the media need to be moderated by the administration and the companies need to further broaden their research so that the youth won't be affected by false information. Proper nutrition education to the masses is also another challenge, faced by the Indian food market. To mark the growing challenges in protecting India from pseudoscience, practitioners, nutrition researchers and policy makers should work together to ensure efficiency and relevant collection of nutrition information.

The paper presents the selected results of consumers’ study of food products in Serbia. It focuses on the products with nutrition and health claims (NHCs) and the analysis of the main consumers’ characteristics which influence their awareness and knowledge about NHCs, their attitudes toward products with NHC and their purchase intentions. Different socio-demographic factors that influence consumers’ behavior were investigated. Education, gender, age and income of the respondents are the key factors which influence awareness, knowledge and consumption. As those products are closely related to consumers’ health, we presented the results based on the differences in health status of the respondents. Main findings show that the respondents with health problems do not consume those products as often as others, which is the outcome of a low level of nutrition knowledge. This represents a major restraining factor for the increase in consumption. After identifying the characteristics of dema...

Purpose-The number of food products containing nutritional or health claims, such as added calcium for stronger bones, has been increasing. Accordingly, we aimed to understand consumers' perceptions towards products that are considered to be healthier and to know how these perceptions affect their purchase intentions. Theoretical framework-Based on consumer perception theory and how consumers process and interpret information, we sought to better understand consumer behavior in relation to the use of nutrition claims in marketing communication. Design/methodology/approach-A survey was conducted via an online questionnaire and responses were obtained from 477 Portuguese consumers. Findings-The results show that the most relevant characteristics when purchasing food are price and taste. However, the addition of a claim can increase purchase intentions. Practical & social implications of research-The reasons behind the new offerings by the food industry are related to the growing demand from individuals for products aimed at improving their health status, which has been deteriorating due to factors such as sedentary lifestyles, longer life expectancy, and a poor diet in terms of nutrition. It is important to know if these claims translate into effective changes in purchasing behavior. Originality/value-The results lead to the conclusion that claims are important in the food choices of the Portuguese respondents, who are less keen on "light"
Consumer demands reveal an increasing tendency to buy foods with health and nutritional properties. The food industry is addressing this need by increasing the number of products with new ingredients that could improve well-being. International legislators have in turn introduced specific regulations to protect consumers in terms of the truthfulness of such claims regarding foods. By focusing on some health and nutrition claims, this research has verified compliance with the law, and the correspondence between use value and exchange value of the relative products. It aims at proposing a clearer informative system that effectively improves consumer awareness on proper nutrition.
