Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Points out an increasing consumer interest in food information13 ; stresses the need to ensure that information about the nutritional or health values of foods and the impact on the environment appearing on labels and being used for presentation, marketing and advertising purposes is accurate and meaningful; takes note that accumulated evidence from robust cohort studies worldwide suggests that the diet-health relationship cannot any longer be exhaustively explained by the nutritional composition alone since the overall food health potential is proven to affect human health independent of nutritional content; notes further that the conceptual framework of ultra-processing shifts the focus from nutrient composition solely to a broader focus on the nature and purpose of food production and processing and the carbon footprint, therefore including information regarding the food processing dimension to interpretive front-of-pack nutritional labels might be of public health interest for consumers, and efficaciously help them making healthier food choices; _________________ 13 European Union, ‘Eurobarometer – Making our food fit for the future – new trends and challenges’, October 2020.
