Nederlands term
de consument kan met het etiket uit de voeten
Nederlands naar Engels
Overig

Fairly standard phrase yet I can't work out what it actually means here. Usual meaning of "to be able to handle" doesn't seem right. Text is a report on "een korte deskresearch naar Europese studies waarin kennis,
houding en gedrag van consumenten inzake etiketten en etikettering van levensmiddelen is bestudeerd". The section entitled "Gebruik van het etiket" starts:
De vraag in hoeverre de consument met het etiket uit de voeten kan, is niet eenduidig te beantwoorden. Om te beginnen: kijkt de consument wel eens op het etiket?
Then goes on to discuss such aspects as actual numbers of consumers who read the label, the "betrouwbaarheid van het etiket" and the "begrijpelijkheid van het etiket".

get a grip on, cope with, handle, deal with
Moira, toch klopt het in het Nederlands. En jouw vertaling van be able to handle/ can the customer handle is ok.
Ik hoop dat de synoniemen helpen?
succes.

How consumer- friendly is the label
The question: “How consumer- friendly is the label” raises several other questions.
+3
9 min
can the consumer manage with the label alone
or 'is the label alone sufficient to inform the consumer'or something along these lines
which would make sense given the question later in the context quote about whether or not the consumer looks at the label
HTH!

\"how helpful the label is\" might work as well...........
