European consumer groups call on states to ensure impartiality of ‘Nutri-Score’

Article summary

The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) has reported that consumer groups from six countries have called on their respective governments to ensure the independence of ‘Nutri-Score’—a new label, grading products from A to E, to be put on food to enable consumers to compare the nutritional quality of different products. BEUC has published letters from the relevant consumer organisations in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland. The letters ask their respective governments to ensure that future updates of the label are science-based.
