Nutrient profiles back on the EU agenda for better or for worse

摘要

The European Commission's work to create a nutrient profiling system to restrict claims on certain foods will once again come up for discussion in 2013 when the Commission presents its second proposal on the issue, a food policy expert has said. Commenting on the Commission's plans to present a second proposal for the establishment of nutrient profiles in 2013 - the first having been discarded in 2009 due to strong internal and external opposition - EAS Global Director of Health and Nutrition Policy Miguel da Silva said it would be interesting to see whether the new proposal would be able to accommodate most of the criticism and offer scientifically sound solutions to all of the issues that led to the withdrawal of the first proposal.
