Main Programme

In recent years there has been an ambition of achieving European consensus on and harmonisation of front of pack nutrition labelling systems. However, consensus has not been achieved, with many strong differing views from member states. At the same time, there is a growing call for front of pack nutrition labelling to become mandatory, and suggestions that current systems should be evolved or replaced to reflect the potential health impacts of processing and specific ingredients.

In this roundtable, we’ll explore the different front of pack nutrition labelling systems that currently exist across Europe and how these reflect the food cultures of the countries where they’re currently applied. We’ll discuss the relative pros and cons of each, share insights on their implementation by the food industry, and dig into the current discussions and debates around these systems.
