The NHCR end is nigh?
A significant stage was reached in the controversial passage of the nutrition and health claims regulation (NHCR), when the general function list containing about 2000 rejected claims and 222 approved claims passed from the European Commission to the European Parliament at the beginning of December.
The Parliament will vote on that in the first quarter of 2012. It’s a vote that has EU trade groups, FoodDrinkEurope excepted, deeply concerned.
