Title : Harmonization of nutrition and health claims in public health services using objective assessing indicators

The harmonized legal requirements of menu’s nutrition labelling represent the key for transparency in declaration and equity in commercialization, in the benefit of the final consumer.

The science-based solutions need to be involved in order to solve the public issues of foodservices suppliers and national authorities which verify the legal conformity of menu’s nutrition labelling.

The harmonised national/continental/global nutrition labelling policy could be fundament only on a scientifically substantiated database of evidences regarding the food nutrition profiles and Daily References Values (DRV) for nutrients & energy (EFSA,2010; EFSA,2013; EFSA,2017), with a rigorous, well-accepted and transparent algorithm of nutritional profile calculation for legal labelling declarations.
