Healthier choices at a glance? This is exactly what the food industry is trying to prevent.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A decisive step is about to be taken in Austria: the draft law on nutritional labeling using the Nutri-Score is within reach.

Studies clearly show that if all products in the supermarket are labeled with the Nutri-Score, consumers are more likely to choose healthier alternatives. <\/p>\n\n<p>A current analysis by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodwatch.org\/at\/mitmachen\/petitionen\/nutri-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>foodwatch<\/em><\/a> clearly underlines the effect: two shopping baskets with comparable foods (e.g. bread, muesli, cheese, sausage, snacks, pizza) were compared &#8211; one with good and one with poor Nutri-Score values.<\/p>\n\n<p>The result:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>50 % less saturated fatty acids<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>44 % less sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>50 % less salt<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>13 % more protein<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>24 % fewer calories<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>&#8230; and all this &#8211; <strong>without the tedious study of nutritional tables<\/strong>, but with a simple color code on the packaging.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-industrie-sagt-nein-obwohl-9-von-10-ja-sagen\">The industry says no &#8211; although 9 out of 10 say yes<\/h2>\n\n<p>A representative street survey showed that <strong>90% of people in Austria want the Nutri-Score<\/strong>. They want guidance on the shelves &#8211; and the opportunity to consciously choose healthier products when shopping. <\/p>\n\n<p>However, this does not fit in with the industry&#8217;s concept: many highly processed products would attract attention with a poor rating &#8211; and this is something they want to avoid. With budgets in the millions, bogus arguments and intense lobbying pressure, the industry is trying to prevent the legal basis. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-politik-muss-jetzt-farbe-bekennen\">Politicians must now show their colors<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"float: right;
