PORDENONE, 15 FEB – “On the part of some nations, in particular Ireland, there is an attempt to stigmatize certain products, in particular wine, which we consider totally irresponsible”: stated the Minister of Agriculture and Sovereignty food, Francesco Lollobrigida, in Pordenone, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Aquafarm fair regarding the health alerts on alcohol labels. Harsh words even against 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 the 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-transformed productions to the detriment of very high quality productions that guarantee well-being and which have always been part of the Mediterranean diet ”.
