against EU desserts: Nutella at risk
Nutella at risk after the first is the introduction of the EU Parliament, for each food, the best nutritional profile. The alarm is group vice president Ferrero, Francesco Paolo Fulci, who warns that such a vote, if confirmed, would "outlaw the Nutella and the vast majority of confectionery products." The Assembly of the European Parliament has just split in two on the amendment.
A tie vote in the European Parliament, is tantamount to a rejection. The amendment was presented by German MEP Renate Sommer (EPP) and calling for the elimination of nutrient profiles from the legislation with which the EU aims to regulate the information on food labels to consumers, in particular promotional messages.
that amendment is then revoked, and now it is expected that the European Commissioner for Health John Dalli present the proposal on nutrient profiles to the specific European Committee. A portion of the food industry had strongly criticized the idea of \u200b\u200bthe EU in Brussels to define the best nutritional profile of each product, based on the mere presence saturated fat, sugar and salt.
There is a risk, they argued, to induce the consumer into error, convincing him that there are good foods and bad foods, and thus creating unequal treatment of the most important sectors of the European food industry. In light of this vote, the forthcoming Commission proposal should take into account the reservations raised by the middle of the European Parliament.
