Brief Summary

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

Oat fibre consumption has been shown to lower blood cholesterol, which is advantageous for heart health. Oat and fibre claims on food labels should help people find heart healthy food choices; however consumer attitudes and understanding of such claims are unknown.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the attitudes and understanding to different types of permitted oat fibre claims.
