Federal Food Minister Julia Klckner (CDU) is satisfied with the interim results of the Nhrwert-Ampel Nutri-Score. “Four months after the launch, 159 companies with 308 brands are already participating,” Klckner told the newspapers of the Funke media group.
“That is a strong dynamic, a great success,” said Klckner. The demand by the Greens to make labeling on food packaging compulsory was rejected by Klckner with reference to European law.
In addition to sugar, fat and salt, the system, which originated in France, also includes recommended components such as dietary fiber in an overall rating and then gives a single value – on a five-point scale from “A” on a dark green field for the most favorable balance via a yellow “C” to the red “E” for the worst.
