The French Ministry of Health has officially signed an order to implement a new version of the Nutri-Score, a nutritional labeling system aimed at promoting healthier eating habits. This decision has sparked internal divisions within the government, particularly between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture. The Minister of Health, Catherine Vautrin, supports the new Nutri-Score, describing it as a public health measure. However, the Minister of Agriculture has criticized the new scoring system for assigning low ratings to certain traditional French products, including notable local delicacies. Despite these criticisms, the government has validated the entry into force of the new Nutri-Score, allowing companies and brands two years to update their packaging to reflect the changes. The government emphasizes the importance of balancing health considerations with the appreciation of French gastronomy.
