(ANSA) - PORDENONE, FEBRUARY 15 - "On the part of some nations, in particular Ireland, there is an attempt to stigmatize some products, in particular wine, which we consider totally irresponsible": stated the Minister of Agriculture and Sovereignty food industry, Francesco Lollobrigida, in Pordenone, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Aquafarm fair regarding health alerts on alcohol labels.
Harsh words even against the Nutriscore which does not inform but conditions.
"There is an attempt to have labeling that does not serve to inform but to condition - he continued - such as Nutriscore, which evidently does not lead to the result that labeling sets itself, that is to correctly inform the people who buy, but to direct them towards one product over another, based not on an objective quality, but on an algorithm, which benefits some hyper-processed productions at the expense of very high quality products that guarantee well-being and which have always been part of the Mediterranean diet".
