Abstract

In response to consumer's growing attention to the products they consume, front-of-package (FOP) labels have been developed to help them make healthier choices. This research aims to analyse the impact of information attainment on both FOP efficacy and individual empowerment and to measure the influence of FOP and individual empowerment on boycott behaviour. A quantitative approach was selected and a total sample of 353 respondents was collected and analysed using a partial least squares approach. The results show that information attainment affects two variables related to efficacy, namely consumer understanding and helpfulness, and three components of individual empowerment, namely consumer competence, self-determination, and consumer feelings of impact. Furthermore, our study reveals that boycott behaviour is determined by helpfulness and feelings of impact. This research provides better understanding of how consumers perceive FOP labels, how consumers are empowered, and how this influences behaviour.
