Question 20446 — consumption

Summary

Mr. Vincent Rolland draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the subject of “nutriscore”. Today, the food product rating system known as “nutriscore” permitted by the European Union and implemented in France responds to a growing and legitimate need for consumers to know the quality of the products they buy and thus, to be able to compare them with each other. This system, making it possible to harmonize the rating criteria contains weaknesses such as, for example, the absence of taking into account the presence of additives. Many groups have already adopted it but a major limit remains: under a 2011 European regulation, it cannot be imposed on manufacturers. This optional membership of food companies directly harms the effectiveness of this rating system which can only fulfill its role on the sole condition that it applies to all food products in the same range on the shelves in major retailers. Consequently, he would like to know the actions, national as well as European, implemented in order to guarantee its harmonization with the aim of both public health and transparency towards the consumer.
