  1. GDA Guidelines Daily Amount; MTL Multiple Traffic Light; WL Warning Labels
  2. Bolds indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) with GDA. Differences in most outcomes were tested with unadjusted quantile regression models, except for the number of times the participant revised the front-of-the pack, where an unadjusted linear regression model was used. Post-hoc tests were used to test differences between MTL and WL. No differences were observed between MTL and WL groups
  3. a Marginally significant (p < 0.06) difference with GDA
