Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Sodium-related claims on food labels should help people find lower sodium food choices; however consumer attitudes and understanding of such claims are unknown.

The objective of this study was to evaluate: 1) the attitudes and understanding to different types of permitted sodium claims and 2) the effect of hypertension on responses to such claims.
