Abstract
Food labeling systems are paramount in consumer food choices, leading to different consumption patterns. Although earlier research focused on food labeling systems in general and Health Star Rating (HSR) in particular, research still lacks a comprehensive understanding of HSR literature with reference to consumer choices. Therefore, this study aims to understand the extant literature on HSR and how it helps consumers make healthy food choices. Following a systematic literature review methodology, we appraised 102 peer-reviewed articles, identifying five thematic areas around HSR and consumer healthy food choices, including ‘regulations, implementations, and evaluations of HSR,’ ‘consumer food choices,’ ‘nutrient profiling focus’, ‘stakeholder perspective of HSR,’ and ‘marketing strategies for HSR’. Accordingly, this review proposes a future research agenda and offers practical guidelines to facilitate consumer healthy food choices.
