The research, conducted by assistant professor of communication and director of Cornell's Social Cognition and Communication Lab, Jonathon Schuldt, suggests that that the same amount of attention put into calorie content might be needed when choosing the design and color of calorie labels.

Schuldt told the Cornell Chronicle that although more calorie labels are now placed on the front of the packaging for sugary snacks, he believes there is not yet enough oversight regarding labels, especially since the calorie label's color choice can potentially mask unhealthy foods.
