Chile applied a similar policy in 2016. Clear warnings are displayed in high fructose / high fat processed food.
According to at least a study, consumption of soft drinks with sugar added decreased by 25% in about 2 years.
The sellers tried to avoid having the warnings so they decreased their sugar levels in their foods as well.

Your comment is the only one I’ve seen cite data so far. I couldn’t quickly find that study. Can you cite it?
I did find this reference to a more qualitative but I think still useful study: https://www.foodnavigator-latam.com/Article/2019/02/20/Chile...

Sorry, I should have linked to my sources after citing them.
These articles, from what I consider some reputable sources cite the study (in Spanish), which original version I could not find:
