Recital 38
Recital 38
(38) Recent developments in the expression of the nutrition declaration, other than per 100g/100ml/portion, by some Member States and organisations in the food sector suggest that consumers like such schemes as they can help them make informed choices quickly. However, there is not eEvidence across all the Community on how the average consumer understands and uses the alternative expression of the information. Therefore, it is appropriate to allow for different schemes to be developed and to allow research on consumer understanding in different Member States to continue so that, if appropriate, harm is still being collected and analysed. However, an increasing body of evidence indicates that a simplified labelling scheme which comprises multiple colour coding for easier and quicker interpretation of nutrition information ised schemes may be introduced the best and preferred option for consumers.
