Notes: aThe label experience for each descriptive variable (read, understand, use) is shown in binary form (0=no, 1=yes). The code reveals the combines label experience as follows: if “read” =0, Code =(1) (“understand” or “use” are then not applicable or n/a); if “read” =1, code for each possible combination =(2)-(5); bthe model for each indicator food outcome is adjusted for all socio-demographic characteristics. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001
