Assessment of the Max Rubner Institute on the nutritional labeling model of the “Food Association of Germany”

Summary

Original text of the question(s):<br /> <br /> Does the Federal Government share the scientific assessment of the Max Rubner Institute, according to which the nutritional labeling model of the “Food Association of Germany” (formerly “Bund für Food Law and Food Science e. V.” (BLL)) “does not provide any assistance in the form of an evaluation”, (…) “requires more in-depth nutritional knowledge”, (…) “does not provide a differentiated assessment of products" and "does not provide easily understandable messages for the general population" and therefore does not fulfill two of the three most relevant criteria for such a model from a scientific perspective (1. understandable messages for the general population, 2. differentiated evaluations of products, 3. comparable reference values ​​for energy and nutritional content) (see S. 13: www.bmel.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/Ernaehrung/Kennzeichen/MRI-bericht-Wertwurf-BLL.pdf?_blob=publicationFile)?
