Mexico and the United States have recently implemented several nutrition policies to promote healthier food choices within distinct social and food environments. We aimed to examine the association between functional nutrition literacy and healthy and sustainable eating efforts among Mexican Americans, non\u2010Latino Whites in the US, and Mexicans.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Online surveys were conducted among adults in Mexico (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20095779) and the US (Mexican Americans\u2009=\u20093343; non\u2010Latino Whites\u2009=\u20093674) as part of the International Food Policy Study 2021. Nutrition literacy was assessed using six questions based on country\u2010specific nutrition facts labels. Efforts to modify diet across food categories were used to construct indicators of healthy and sustainable eating aligned with international guidance. Logistic regression models estimated associations between functional nutrition literacy and dietary efforts, stratified by population group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Healthy and sustainable eating efforts were similar between Mexican Americans and Mexicans (\u224850%\u201380%), but lower for non\u2010Latino Whites (\u224837%\u201365%), despite lower literacy levels in the former groups. Higher nutrition literacy was associated with greater likelihood of engaging in most dietary efforts across all populations, including increasing fruit, vegetable, and whole grain intake, and reducing consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and nutrients of concern (AORs\u2009=\u20091.07\u20132.73).
