Front-Of-Pack Nutrition Labelling – LIVE STREAMING

The event was held on Thursday, February 24 – 5 pm (CEST)

Together with excellent guests and experts, we discussed pros and cons of food labelling. As part of the Farm to Fork Strategy, the European Commission has decided that, by the final quarter of 2022, it will present its proposal for a harmonised front-of-pack nutrition labelling system, which will be mandatory across all EU countries. The aim is to encourage consumers to shift to healthier and more sustainable diets.
