Debata o znakowaniu żywności i edukacji konsumenckiej
Debate on food labeling and consumer education
Experts met at MUW to discuss whether front-of-pack labeling (FOPL) systems are a real support for the consumer, or rather a source of misinformation. The common denominator of the discussion was a reflection on how to effectively inform and educate consumers without oversimplifying the message.
