Front-of-pack nutrition labelling schemes report released by JRC

3 Jun 2020

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) recently released its long-awaited review of the front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labelling schemes. The full report is now available to download here. The review was required by Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers. Regulation No 1169/2011 requires most pre-packed foods to bear a nutrition declaration through back-of-pack labelling. This declaration can be complemented by a voluntary repetition of its main elements on a front-of-pack label.
