Nutrient profiling vote unlikely before June Featured

The European Parliament

is unlikely to vote

on a proposal to scrap nutrient profiling before mid-June, FoodNavigator.com has learned. A draft report suggesting that the controversial food measurement be binned was approved by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) sitting on the European Parliament’s Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) Committee in March, with a first plenary vote expected at the end of this month.

However, the date of the European Parliament’s first reading in plenary session now looks likely to occur in the week of June 16.
The proposal was put forward by Renate Sommer, rapporteur of the ENVI committee, and approved by MEPs sitting on ENVI on March 16, with 52 votes in favour, two against and five abstentions.
Health claims wrangling
The decision followed 18 months of wrangling over amendments to the Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation.
Nutrient profiling is based on the idea that foods high in fat, salt, sugar and certain other nutrients should be prevented from bearing health claims even if they also contain healthy ingredients that would otherwise qualify them to make such claims.
