MVO reactie op COEN update van Nutri Score algoritme
In recent years, MVO - the Netherlands Oils and Fats Industry has been following national and EU developments regarding front-of-pack labelling schemes. With the introduction of the Nutri-Score in a number of countries in recent years, MVO has analysed the way it applies to oils, fats and fat spreads and has shared detailed reactions earlier on. Whilst the updated algorithm is surely a welcome step in the right direction, there still is a discrepancy between the EU nutritional scientific consensus regarding fats and fatty acids and the Nutri-Score algorithm evaluating fats and fatty acids. This discrepancy can easily be reduced by adding oilseeds from flowers to the fruits, vegetables and legumes component.
