And yet, behind this apparently simple communicative act lies a complex epistemological and design problem: how is scientific knowledge translated into meaningful messages for a broad, heterogeneous audience? This is precisely the question that the literature on Science Communication and Science and Technology Studies (STS) has begun to frame in ways the food industry has not yet fully absorbed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e866508 custom-h2-gray elementor-widget elementor-widget-vc_custom_heading\" data-id=\"e866508\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"vc_custom_heading.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" vc_custom_heading  consulting_heading_font  text_align_left\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"consulting-custom-title\">Science Communication as a Framework\n<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ede158f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ede158f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Burns, O&#8217;Connor and Stocklmayer (2003) define Science Communication as the use of appropriate skills, media, activities and dialogue to produce personal responses to science \u2014 what they call the AEIOU framework: Awareness, Enjoyment, Interest, Opinion-forming, and Understanding. What matters about this definition is that it evaluates communication by its outcomes in the recipient, not by the intentions of the sender. A warning label that triggers avoidance behaviour has produced awareness and possibly an opinion. It has not necessarily produced understanding. Whether understanding is always the goal \u2014 or whether a clear behavioural nudge is sometimes sufficient \u2014 is a question with direct implications for label design.<\/p>\n<p>Burns et al. also identify a persistent paradox: high public interest in science alongside low measurable comprehension. They trace this to the <em>deficit model<\/em> \u2014 the assumption that the public simply lacks knowledge and that the solution is to supply more information. This model misreads the problem. Communication is not a pipeline. The contextual model they favour instead treats it as a two-way street, in which local knowledge, values and context shape how scientific information is received. This reframing is not abstract for the food sector. It explains why nutritionally superior products fail to be chosen, why clear labelling is ignored, and why technically accurate health claims can nonetheless mislead.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12a2c8d custom-h2-gray elementor-widget elementor-widget-vc_custom_heading\" data-id=\"12a2c8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"vc_custom_heading.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" vc_custom_heading  consulting_heading_font  text_align_left\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"consulting-custom-title\">The Shifting Landscape: Science Communication 2.0\n<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3b7ca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3b7ca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Massimiano Bucchi (EFSA Journal, 2019) describes a &#8220;crisis of mediators&#8221; in which new research reaches the public in real time, unfiltered by journalists or institutional gatekeepers. Scientists debate on social media. Consumers access primary research directly. The boundary between expert and non-expert has become, in his words, &#8220;fluid and porous.&#8221; For the food industry, this means that nutritional claims and health warnings now compete with influencer content, contested studies, and retracted papers. The authority of a nutrition label can no longer be taken for granted. It must be designed, earned, and contextualised.<\/p>\n<p>Bucchi and Trench (2021) deepen this by identifying two challenges that are directly relevant here. First, the fragmentation of publics: different consumers bring different assumptions, different levels of prior knowledge, and different relationships to food and health. A labelling system designed for one segment will almost certainly fail another. Second, the collapse of communication contexts: controversies once confined to peer-reviewed journals now unfold in public view. For food science, which is particularly prone to contested findings and industry-funded research disputes, the communicative context in which a nutrition label is received is permanently charged with skepticism.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8298988 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8298988\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12901\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium-900x506.png 900w, https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/socialfood.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Food-Labelling-as-Science-Communication-2-Medium.png 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d689597 custom-h2-gray elementor-widget elementor-widget-vc_custom_heading\" data-id=\"d689597\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"vc_custom_heading.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" vc_custom_heading  consulting_heading_font  text_align_left\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"consulting-custom-title\">What the Research Shows\n<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9847ee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9847ee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Kate Scott&#8217;s 2023 article in <em>Frontiers in Communication<\/em> provides a valuable empirical anchor. Applying relevance theory to front-of-pack labelling, she compares three systems: non-directive Facts Up Front labels, semi-directive traffic light systems, and directive warning labels. The findings are consistent across multiple systematic reviews: semi-directive systems outperform non-directive ones, and warning labels are most effective for identifying products to be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>Scott&#8217;s explanation is precise. Cognitive relevance \u2014 the degree to which information produces useful cognitive effects relative to the processing effort it requires \u2014 determines how effectively a label communicates. Facts Up Front systems demand numerical literacy, familiarity with recommended daily amounts, and the ability to calculate what those numbers mean for a purchase decision. Warning labels require almost no prior knowledge. A warning sign activates pre-existing associations with danger and avoidance. The inferential path from label to decision is short. More information is not the same as more relevance.<\/p>\n<p>Scott also identifies a key limitation: warning labels are effective at triggering avoidance, but they do not improve nutritional knowledge or guide consumers toward healthier alternatives. They work where consumers are ambivalent. Where consumers already know a product is unhealthy, the label produces no new cognitive effect. This is a precise and useful finding for anyone thinking about where labelling can and cannot do meaningful communicative work.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18fb44c custom-h2-gray elementor-widget elementor-widget-vc_custom_heading\" data-id=\"18fb44c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"vc_custom_heading.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\" vc_custom_heading  consulting_heading_font  text_align_left\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"consulting-custom-title\">The Food Industry\n<\/h2><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-388c7d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"388c7d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Burns et al. observed that &#8220;surveys suggest that the public does not know much about science, and it appears that scientists don&#8217;t know much about the public.&#8221; The food industry communicates science every time it prints a label. Whether that communication produces awareness, understanding, or a meaningful change in behaviour depends on decisions that are rarely framed as communicative decisions: how information is structured, what assumptions the consumer is expected to bring, how many inferential steps lie between the label and the choice. Getting those decisions right requires not only food science and design expertise, but a genuine engagement with the social and communicative conditions in which food choices are actually made.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>William Paisley, (1998).<\/strong> \u201cScientific literacy and the competition for public attention and understanding,\u201d <em>Science Communication\u00a0<\/em>20, no. 1 (1998): 70\u201380.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chris Bryant, (2002).<\/strong> \u201cDoes Australia need a more effective policy of Science Communication?,\u201d <em>International Journal of Parasitology\u00a0<\/em>in press (2002): 7.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Burns, T.
