Dutch food company, HAK, introduced Nutri-score logos on their products on September 1, 2019, which the company says will enable consumers to make healthier choices when buying food. The Dutch consumers association, the retailers association, and others support the introduction of this logo. However, the Dutch food processing industry prefers to wait for the outcome of a Dutch Ministry of Health investigation of several schemes before selecting a logo to endorse. Since this is a voluntary logo, companies are not obligated to use it because labeling requirements are fully harmonized within the European Union (EU). Accordingly, Dutch food companies and U.S. exporters targeting the Dutch market are not required to comply with this labeling scheme.
