Comment on EU grocery shoppers 'fooled' by 'maze' of food labels: audit
De_Narm@lemmy.world 1 month agoDone! Apparently I’ve fallen for a common misconception. My point however still stands, the score is mostly useless, just my reasoning got changed.

Thank you for the edit. The NutriScore’s goal is to compare similar products from different brands, it was never intended to compare different products. The idea is that consumers that are not well informed and don’t read the labels would rather grab the cereals with B instead of the cereals with C next to them. This puts pressure on the producers to change their formulas. There are definitely still loopholes for “healthy-washing” but the rules can be and have already been changed.
