政府主导型食品FOP标签系统国际经验与启发

International experience and enlightenment of government-led food front of package (FOP) labeling system

通过对瑞典、丹麦、挪威、冰岛的Keyhole标签系统、新加坡的较健康选择标志系统、英国和爱尔兰的交通灯信号标签系统、澳大利亚和新西兰的健康星级评分系统开展案例研究发现,政府主导型食品FOP标签系统是在营养慢病高发和现行食品标签局限的背景下启动。标签图形简单易懂,食品供应商可自愿免费使用,但要按照标准严格执行。标签系统有线上线下宣传方式,且系统根据实际需要一直处于动态更新状况。然而,系统推行机构、标签适用范围、营养素度量标示方法与遇到的发展瓶颈不同。中国构建FOP标签系统应立足国民营养健康问题和充分的科学依据,系统运行离不开监管、咨询、技术、推广四位一体管理架构,坚持食品供应商自愿使用和严格按要求使用标签的原则,并促进系统与时俱进。

Keyhole symbol system of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, healthier choice symbol system of Singapore, traffic light signpost labeling of Great Britain and Ireland, health star rating system of Australia and New Zealand were made as case studies and it was found that front of package (FOP)labeling systems are all started under the background of the high incidence of malnutrition and the limitation of current food labeling. It is simple and easy to understand the labeling graphics. Food suppliers can use them voluntarily and free of charge. While the use must be in strict accordance with the standards. The promotion of the labeling system is divided into online and offline, and the labeling system has been in dynamic update situation according to the actual needs. However, the four countries’ FOP labeling system implementation agencies, scope of labeling application, the adoption of nutrition measurement and labeling methods are different from the development bottlenecks encountered. China ’s establishment of the FOP labeling system should be built on the basis of the current national nutrition and health problems. The formulation of nutrition measurement and labeling method, applicable scope, evaluation standard and algorithm need sufficient scientific basis. The operation of FOP labeling system can not be separated from the management structure of supervision, consultation, technology and promotion. Food suppliers should adhere to the principle of voluntary use and strict use of labels principle, make the labeling system keep up with the times, and keep dynamic update.
