Front-of-pack labeling schemes are an effective but contested regulatory approach to nudge consumers toward healthy food choices. The Nutri-Score, being implemented by eight European countries, is one of the most elaborated and evidence-based examples. Therefore, the Nutri-Score has been deemed as the front-runner within the European Commission's attempt to harmonize front-of-pack labeling among European Union (EU) member states under its Farm-to-Fork strategy by the end of 2022. However, the endeavor is on the brink of failure because of massive resistance by Mediterranean member states and parts of the food industry capitalizing on patriotic narratives (e.g., "Made in Italy"). This article investigates the Nutri-Score saga from a political and commercial determinants of health lens. It argues that an EU-wide rollout of the label hinges on the specific interplay between political structures and stakeholder agency. As shown, the EU's weak decision-making power has been exploited by the No-Nutri-Score alliance.
食品标签：欧盟食品标签制度改革的政治经济学
摘要：包装食品标签方案是一种有效的、但颇具争议的监管手段，可以引导消费者选择健康食品。营养评分是目前最详尽和最有科学依据的方案之一，正在被八个欧洲国家所采用。因此，营养评分被认为是欧盟委员会在其“从农场到餐桌”战略下，试图在 2022 年底之前协调欧盟成员国之间的包装食品标签的领跑者。然而，由于地中海成员国的强烈抵制以及部分食品行业利用爱国主义叙事（例如“意大利制造”），这项努力面临失败的风险。本文从健康的政治和商业决定因素的角度来探讨营养评分的故事。它认为，标签在欧盟范围内的推出取决于政治结构和利益相关者代理之间的特定相互作用。研究表明，欧盟较弱的决策权力被“反营养评分”联盟所利用。
