Etiquetatge
Canvi en les compres amb Nutri-Score?
Una mica. L'efecte més gran pot ser en els fabricants reformulant-se per obtenir una millor puntuació, que no és el que normalment es debat.
El que troben les revisions
Una revisió sistemàtica de 2025 sobre l'eficàcia del Nutri-Score [1] i una revisió de l'impacte de l'etiquetatge frontal [4] convergeixen: les etiquetes desplacen les compres en la direcció prevista, i el desplaçament és petit. La feina de validació per criteris [2] aborda una pregunta diferent i anterior — si l'algoritme classifica els aliments com ho faria la ciència nutricional — i la resposta és àmpliament afirmativa, amb casos límit coneguts.
Els índexs dietètics que fonamenten aquests sistemes també han estat scrutinats [3], cosa que és rellevant perquè un algoritme de perfilatge codifica judicis discutibles sobre quins nutrients ponderar.
Efectes de l'etiquetatge frontal
Els casos límit coneguts
Els crítics assenyalen que l'oli d'oliva, els fruits secs i el formatge tenen una puntuació pitjor del que la intuïció suggereix, i que algunes begudes dietètiques puntuen bé. Part d'això és just i part malinterpreta el disseny: el Nutri-Score compara dins de les categories sobre una base de 100 g i no és un veredicte sobre si un aliment pertany a una dieta saludable.
Les revisions recents de l'algoritme han abordat diversos d'aquests casos. El punt més profund és: una sola lletra no pot codificar tot sobre un aliment, i tractar-la com si ho fes és un mal ús més que un defecte.
El que significa legalment una afirmació de salut
A la UE, les afirmacions nutricionals i de salut estan regulades: només les afirmacions autoritzades amb una base d'evidència acceptada poden aparèixer, i cadascuna està lligada a condicions d'ús específiques. "Contribueix a la funció immune normal" és una frase llicenciada amb una base definida, no prosa de màrqueting.
El que no està regulat és tot el que l'envolta — imatges, llenguatge de procedència i termes com "natural" o "saludable". L'afirmació regulada és sovint l'afirmació menys enganyosa del paquet.
