Abstract
The nutrition label is an important part in informing consumers about the nutrition content of food products. This study utilized structural equation modeling to derive the causal relationship between "Nutrition Label", "Nutrition Fact", "Reason to Check", and "Purchasing Decision" simultaneously. A total of 100 questionnaires were collected from respondents in Barangay 454 and 455, Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines. The results indicated that "Nutrition Label" had significant effects on "Reason to Check" and "Purchasing Decision". In addition, "Reason to Check" also had a significant effect on "Purchasing Decision". Interestingly, female respondents and respondents with higher income had significant effects on "Reason to Check" which subsequently affect "Purchasing Decision". Our SEM results could provide valuable theoretical foundations to identify the interrelationship among "Nutrition Label", "Nutrition Fact", "Reason to Check", and "Purchasing Decision" particularly for nutrition researchers and food manufacturers.
