How Italy braces for the battle against Nutriscore

Nutriscore is to be blocked because it represents a threat to our excellence, to our exports and to the Mediterranean diet, the best in the world” – Vacondio underlined. “We therefore assure our support in fighting at European level for a scientific and informative labelling scheme. A system like the NutrInform battery, for example, which will soon come into force in Italy” – said Vacondio.
