Nutrition labelling revision proposed by The European Commission

An updated version of the amendments to the Nutrition Labelling Directive (90/496/EEC) was proposed by the European Commission. The proposed amendments are related to

-          definition of dietary fibre

-          new energy conversion factor for fibre and erythritol

-          updates the list of vitamins and minerals and associated RDAs to ensure coherence between Community legislation

It is expected that the amendment directive will  provide clarity and coherence with other legislation as well as update the recommendations to account for scientific developments.
