Industry Lobbying on Nutri-Score and Nutrient Profiles
Dear Health and Food Safety,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
- any documents (including emails, briefings, reports, as well as attachments) received from (or sent to) representatives of Nestlé since May 2020 that concern or make mention of the commitments in the Farm to Fork Strategy that the EU will 1) “propose harmonised mandatory front-of-pack nutrition labelling” or 2) “seek opportunities to facilitate the shift to healthier diets and stimulate product reformulation, including by setting up nutrient profiles to restrict the promotion (via nutrition or health claims) of foods high in fat, sugars and salt.”
- a list of meetings held (and minutes of those meetings when available) with representatives of Nestlé since May 2020 at which there was any discussion of the commitments in the Farm to Fork Strategy that the EU will 1) “propose harmonised mandatory front-of-pack nutrition labelling” or 2) “seek opportunities to facilitate the shift to healthier diets and stimulate product reformulation, including by setting up nutrient profiles to restrict the promotion (via nutrition or health claims) of foods high in fat, sugars and salt.”
Yours faithfully,
Manuel Abebe

Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail of 20 July 2022. We hereby acknowledge receipt
of your application for access to documents, which was registered on 22
July 2022 under reference number GESTDEM 2022/4233.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 regarding public access to
European Parliament, Council and Commission documents, your application
will be handled within 15 working days. The time limit will expire on 12
August 2022. In case this time limit needs to be extended, you will be
informed in due course.
You have lodged your application via a private third-party website, which
has no link with any institution of the European Union. Therefore, the
European Commission cannot be held accountable for any technical issues or
problems linked to the use of this system.
Please note that the private third party running the AsktheEU website is
responsible and accountable for the processing of your personal data via
that website, and not the Commission. For further information on your
rights, please refer to the third party’s privacy policy.
We understand that the third party running the AsktheEU.org website
usually publishes the content of applicants’ correspondence with the
Commission on that website. This includes the personal data that you may
have communicated to the Commission (e.g. your private postal address).
Similarly, the third party publishes on that website any reply that the
Commission will send to the email address of the applicants generated by
the AsktheEU.org website.
If you do not wish that your correspondence with the Commission is
published on a private third-party website such as AsktheEU.org, you can
provide us with an alternative, private e-mail address for further
correspondence. In that case, the Commission will send all future
electronic correspondence addressed to you only to that private address,
and it will use only that private address to reply to your request. You
should still remain responsible to inform the private third-party website
about this change of how you wish to communicate with, and receive a reply
from, the Commission.
