19 Aug 2019 --- Popular front-of-pack label (FoPL) Nutri-Score reflects “false facts” and misleads consumers, according to a report from the German Sugar Industry Association (WVZ). The association argues that as obesity is the primary societal issue at hand, a visible calorie count is the only necessary aspect of a FoPL. Furthermore, systems like Nutri-Score or traffic light colors, which provide an analysis of the nutritional content, incorrectly imply that foods can be divided into healthy and unhealthy categories.
