The research presented is two-fold: firstly, the current research status on the topic is investigated and secondly, a qualitative analysis of 68 selected articles is performed. This showed that consumers are willing to use ethical labels to guide them in their purchase decision process, however, frequently they lack understanding of the meanings behind labels. Education and awareness prove to be the drivers to increase the use of ethical labels in the consumer decision-making process.engFood industryEthical labellingEthical consumerismConsumer perceptionsSystematic literature reviewmaster thesis203865413
