🥣One of these breakfast products has 1% sugar, the other has 34% (‼️) sugar content. But both are able to make nutrition claims on their packaging. 🤨Why? 👎 Because the EU has failed (for 1️⃣6️⃣yrs) to set max levels of fats, salt and sugar for the use of such claims!

Η Ευρωπαική Οργάνωση Καταναλωτών (The Consumer Voice) μαζί με 6 οργανώσεις μέλη δημιούργησαν το παρακάτω βίντεο ζητώντας από την ΕΕ να καθορίσει τα προφίλ των θρεπτικών συστατικών των προιόντων. #BEUC #ΕΚΠΟΙΖΩ #ekpizo #BlueMonday
