NUTRIENT PROFILING
T a s k O n e. Read, translate and analyze the following information.
EC Working Document on nutrient profiling
The Regulation (EC) 1924/2006 on Nutrition and Health Claims on Foods that applied from July 2007, necessitates that foods
carrying nutrition or health claims must comply with specific nutritional criteria or ‘nutrient profiles’. The aim of setting nutrient
profiles is to ensure consumers are not misled with regards to the overall nutritional value of foods bearing these claims, thus enabling
consumers to make informed choices that will influence their diet in a way that will be beneficial to their health. The European
Commission (EC) has until January 2009 to establish a nutrient profiling system and to set nutrient profiles that will determine which
food items can bear nutrition and health claims. To help them in this process, they sought scientific advice from the European Food
Standard Authority (EFSA), which was published earlier in 2008. The EC has issued a ‘Working Document on the Setting of Nutrient
Profiles’.
The paper sets out two main objectives for setting nutrient profiles:
1. To counter the promotional effects of claims and help customers’ choices.
2. To provide an incentive for product reformulation.
