Tápértékjelzések

Tápértékjelzések are nutritional labeling systems used on food products to help consumers understand the nutritional content of the food they are purchasing. These labels are designed to provide a quick and easy way to assess the healthiness of a product, particularly concerning key nutrients like calories, fat, sugar, and salt.

Different countries and regions have adopted various forms of tápértékjelzések. Common formats include the "traffic light" system, which uses red, amber, and green colors to indicate high, medium, or low levels of certain nutrients. Another prevalent system is the "front-of-pack" labeling, which often presents simplified nutritional information directly on the front of the packaging. Some systems may also display percentage of daily recommended intake for various nutrients.

The primary goal of tápértékjelzések is to empower consumers to make more informed dietary choices, contributing to public health initiatives aimed at reducing the prevalence of diet-related diseases. They are intended to supplement, not replace, the more detailed nutritional information typically found on the back of food packaging. The implementation and specific requirements for tápértékjelzések can vary significantly by jurisdiction, reflecting different public health priorities and regulatory frameworks.
