An event about the European Commissions proposal of a harmonized front-of-pack nutrition label to help consumers make healthier choices.
As part of the European Commission’s strategy for a sustainable food system, a legislative proposal of a harmonized, mandatory, front-of-pack nutrition label is waiting around the corner - to help consumers make healthier food choices.
