The amount of information about food offered to consumers is increasing due to legislation and consumer demand. However, the existing way of food labeling is complex, containing various quality labels, nutritional facts, and marketing information, which can confuse consumers. The lack of consumer knowledge about mandatory food labeling information and food fraud can have a negative impact on public health. In May 2020, the European Commission presented the "Farm to Fork" strategy, committing to propose harmonized mandatory labeling of nutritional values on the front of packaging to make it easier for consumers to make informed, healthy, and sustainable food choices. One such label is Nutri-Score, which assigns nutritional quality scores on a scale from A to E. Despite the voluntary adoption of Nutri-Score in some EU member states, there are disagreements among countries regarding the labeling approach. The purpose and aim of this study are to depict the attitudes and behaviors of Croatian consumers toward food labeling and to understand whether consumers in Croatia comprehend the meaning of nutritional and functional labels found on product packaging.This research, conducted through an online questionnaire with a sample of 103 respondents, showed that Croatian consumers do not pay attention to nutritional information and do not fully understand it. They are not familiar with the Nutri-Score label. Therefore, it is important to educate consumers about the meaning of nutritional and functional labels on products to promote informed and healthy dietary behavior.
