Italy passes unfavourable judgement on Nutri-Score labelling system
- oifjsidjf 4y agoGood, Nutri-Score is ridicoulous. The "scientists" who came up with it are either really stupid or have been bought by Big Food. For example, nutri-score rates Nesquick Sweet Cacoa (which is just a sugar bomb) with B, but prusciutto with D. It rates a sardine tasting CHIPS with A. Meanwhile it rates ACTUAL REAL sardines with C. https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2021/11/24/France-accused-of-backing-Nutri-Score-to-benefit-its-big-conglomerates-in-food https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2021/11/24/France-accu... >> Scoring a Nutri-Score ‘D’, the cheese is made from milk, salt and rennet. The fries, on the other hand, score a Nutri-Score ‘B’, and contain potatoes, vegetable oil, natural beef flavouring, dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and salt, we were told. Here is a twitter account showing you more stupidify or nutriscore. https://twitter.com/nonutriscore https://twitter.com/nonutriscore Also a daily reminder that most of these "scientists" take speaking fees from Big Food.
- taubek 4y agoI saw Nutriscore for first time few days ago on cereals that I've been buying for years. And then I did some reading about it. https://www.foodwatch.org/en/campaigns/sugar-fat-and-salt/how-the-nutri-score-works/ https://www.foodwatch.org/en/campaigns/sugar-fat-and-salt/ho... It basically says "sugar is bad, fiber are good".
