This cross-sectional study examined FA correlates among 404 university students, focusing on palatable eating motives and food label reading attitudes. Sixty-six participants (16.3%) met the original Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS 1.0) threshold of at least three of seven DSM-IV-TR criteria plus clinically significant impairment or distress. Female sex, smoking, obesity, and a higher T-PEMS mean were associated with higher odds of meeting the threshold; the obesity estimate was imprecise because that subgroup was small. Model discrimination was acceptable in-sample (AUC\u2009=\u20090.746). The T-PEMS mean had a weak inverse correlation with label attitudes (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009\u22120.143) that was not significant after adjustment (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22120.10,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.060;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">R<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.057).
