The Regulation on transparency became effective since March 2021. It is supposed to improve the transparency of the risk assessment process that involves food approval.

On the Front of Package Label, Italian agriculture minister took a clear/cut position against the NutriScore, defining it “idiot”. A member of the Wojciechowski cabinet also took a public position against this labelling tool.
