Italian politicians continued their campaign to derail the adoption of Nutri-Score as the European Union’s official front of pack labeling (FOPL) system at a recent series of events.
Italian officials once again criticized Nutri-Score as an overly simplistic way to evaluate food nutrition.
The officials further accused Nutri-Score of misleading consumers and directly attacking the Mediterranean diet. Instead, the officials lobbied to adopt Nutrinform Battery, the Italian alternative that has also been widely criticized by its detractors.
