The European Food Safety Authority has issued scientific advice on nutrient profiling that will help inform the Commission’s future plans for front-of-pack labelling.

The Netherlands has thrown its weight behind the Nutri-Score nutritional labelling system, suggesting that of the three schemes used in Europe – Keyhole, Traffic Lights and Nutri-Score – it is the ‘best’ at promoting healthy choices.
