Front of pack nutrition labelling across Europe: disharmony, debates and reflections on implementation
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.
Host: Lauren Woodley, Head of Nutrition and Sensory Science, Nomad Foods
13:55 – 14:40
The Ozempic effect in F&B: science driving innovate ingredients boosting GLP-1 release

Discussing the Ozempic trend and its influence in the functional Food & Beverage market, focus on discussing innovate functional ingredients in the GLP-1 space and market trends in GLP-1 support related formulations.
- Explain differences: GLP-1 mimics (Ozempic-like drugs) vs GLP-1 boosters (functional ingredients found in F&B and supplements).
- Discuss innovate ingredients to ride the GLP-1 trend focusing on scientific evidence
- Discuss consumer perception/education level in terms of science and overall understanding of GLP-1 food options
- Highlight potential of Nextida GC as a GLP-1 booster (and its science)
- Provide samples
