      abstract     = {Introduction: Nutrition claims are one of the most common
                      tools used to improve food decisions. Previous research has
                      shown that nutrition claims impact expectations; however,
                      their effects on perceived pleasantness, valuation, and
                      their neural correlates are not well understood. These
                      claims may have both intended and unintended effects on food
                      perception and valuation, which may compromise their effect
                      on food decisions.Methods: We investigated the effects of
                      nutrition claims on expectations, perceptions, and valuation
                      of milk-mix drinks in a behavioral (n = 110) and an fMRI (n
                      = 39) study. In the behavioral study, we assessed the
                      effects of a "fat-reduced" and a "protein-rich" nutrition
                      claim on expected and perceived food attributes of otherwise
                      equal food products. In the fMRI study, we investigated the
                      effect of a "protein-rich" claim on taste pleasantness
                      perception and valuation, and on their neural correlates
                      during tasting and swallowing.Results: We found that both
                      nutrition claims increased expected and perceived
                      healthiness and decreased expected but not perceived taste
                      pleasantness. The "protein-rich" claim increased expected
                      but not perceived satiating quality ratings, while the
                      "fat-reduced" claim decreased both expected and perceived
                      satiating quality ratings. In the absence vs. presence of
                      the "protein-rich" claim, we observed an increased activity
                      in a cluster extending to the left nucleus accumbens during
                      tasting and an increased functional connectivity between
                      this cluster and a cluster in right middle frontal gyrus
                      during swallowing.Conclusion: Altogether, we found that
                      nutrition claims impacted expectations and attenuated
                      reward-related responses during tasting but did not
                      negatively affect perceived pleasantness. Our findings
                      support highlighting the presence of nutrients with positive
                      associations and exposure to foods with nutrition claims to
                      increase their acceptance. Our study offers insights that
                      may be valuable in designing and optimizing the use of
                      nutrition claims.Keywords: expectations; fMRI; food
