营养标签是预包装食品包装中的重要内容之一,其作用主要包括向消费者提供食品营养信息和特性的描述与说明。我国于2021年公布了《食品安全国家标准预包装食品营养标签通则》(征求意见稿),相较于现行的《食品安全国家标准预包装食品营养标签通则(GB 28050-2011)》对其术语、标识内容和形式等进行了系统地修订。新变化共涵盖13个方面。本文在对比新、现行食品营养标签的基础上,分析了所改进条目对食品生产、流通、消费、管理等过程中的潜在影响;深入探讨了食品生产者、消费者、社会公众等利益相关群体应如何适应营养标签的变化。文章结合其他国家营养标签的经验和我国居民存在的营养与健康问题,为我国营养标签未来发展提出了建议。

Nutritional information is one of the most important parts of prepackaged food packaging,and its main role is to provide consumers with a description of nutritional information.In 2021,China published the“General Rules for Nutrition Labelling of Prepackaged Food in the National Standard for Food Safety”(draft for comment).The form has been systematically revised to cover a total of 13 aspects compared to the older version.Based on a comparison between the new and old nutrition labeling of foods,this paper analyzes the potential impact of the improved items on food production,transportation,consumption,and management,and discusses in detail how food manufacturers,consumers,the public,and other stakeholders should respond to the changes in nutrition labels.Finally,based on the experience of nutrition labeling in other countries and the nutrition and health problems of Chinese people,suggestions are made for the future development of nutrition labeling in our country.
