Question for written answer E-001390/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Biljana Borzan (S&D)
In early March 2025, the Commission reportedly declined to confirm its support for the implementation of a front-of-pack nutrient profiling system in Member States. This development raises concerns about consumers’ ability to make informed dietary choices, particularly at a time when obesity rates across Europe continue to rise.
Front-of-pack nutrition labelling has been widely recognised as a useful guidance tool for healthier food choices and encouraging reformulation by the food industry. The lack of progress in this area calls into question the EU’s broader commitments to public health, cancer prevention and the goals of the farm to fork strategy.
- 1.What is the Commission’s current position on the implementation of a harmonised front-of-pack nutrition labelling system?
- 2.Has the proposal been postponed or abandoned?
- 3.Does the Commission plan to revise or update its approach to nutrient profiling systems, and if so, what timeline can be expected?
