1 FoodDrinkEurope guidelines on portion sizes Marta Baffigo Chair of the Diet Task Force, FoodDrinkEurope Director Global Public and Regulatory Affairs, Kellogg Company 09/02/2012

2 2 Agenda

3 3 Background Current legislation Directive 90/496/EEC: Information shall be expressed per 100 g or per 100 ml. In addition, this information may be given per serving as quantified on the label or per portion, provided that the number of portions contained in the package is stated.

4 4 Background New legislation Regulation 1169/2011: The energy value and the amount of nutrients may be expressed per portion, in addition to per 100g/ml General conditions when food business operators wish to use per portion/consumption unit expression: 1. The portion/consumption unit is easily recognisable by the consumer; 2. The portion or unit used is quantified on the label; 3. The number of portions/units contained in the package is stated.

5 5 FoodDrinkEurope Position on Portion Sizes FoodDrinkEurope supports the provision of nutrition information per 100g/ml, providing a tool for comparison. However, most foods are not consumed in 100g/ml quantities. So, additional information is needed to help consumers understand the nutritional value of the amount of food/drink they actually consume. A portion is the amount of a given food or drink reasonably expected to be consumed by an individual in a single consumption occasion. Therefore, FoodDrinkEurope supports the provision of nutrition information per portion in addition to the information provided per 100g/ml

6 6 Guideline Daily Amounts: Per Portion Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) were developed by FoodDrinkEurope (then CIAA) in 2005 as a commitment under the EU Platform GDAs are a voluntary nutrition labelling guide to how much energy and nutrients are present in a portion of a food or beverage and what each amount represents as a percentage of a person s daily dietary guidelines Endorsed and implemented by an increasing amount of food companies, large and small alike Expression of reference intakes explicitly in EU legislation (Regulation 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers)

7 7 Why work on Portion Communication? Sector-wide portion sizes have been established by various sectors associations (cereals, soups, confectionary, meat products, snacks, ice cream, margarine, pasta and soft drinks) In order to ensure a consistent approach concerning portion sizes, in early 2010, FoodDrinkEurope (then CIAA) created an Expert Group on Portions to: 1. Establish Guiding Principles 2. To assess whether the sector rationales of portion sizes are consistent with the Guiding Principles

8 8 Essential Guiding Principles for Portion Communication

9 9 Practical Communication Guidelines

10 10 Practical Communication Guidelines

11 11 FoodDrinkEurope Guidelines on Portion Sizes Three specific portion categories have been identified:

12 12 Category 1: Single Portion Pack If a pack is designed to be consumed in one single consumption occasion, the portion is the entire pack, even if the pack weight is greater than the reference portion. Examples: Snack bar, pre-packed sandwich, meal-for-one.

13 13 Category 2: Multi Portion Pack Recognisable Units The portion is equal to one individual preportioned unit only if this complies with all essential guiding principles. If declaring one individual unit as a portion does not comply with all guiding principles, then category 3 should be applied. Examples: Sliced bread, sliced ham.

14 14 Category 3: Multi Portion Pack - Other

15 15 Category 3: Multi Portion Pack - Other Reference portion: where judgment is required (rice, pasta, sauces...) o Preferably use the term typical (usage based on individual preferences) E.g. a typical portion is 75g rice or Pack proportion: where the product is designed to be consumed by a set number of people: o o Portion = total pack weight / # of people the product is designed to serve E.g. For Two : Portion = ½ of this pack (xg) Fractions should only be used up to one eighth of a pack or food item. Examples: Jam, family/share packs (e.g. crisps, cereals), some confectionery, family pizza, etc.

16 16 Conclusions Portions help consumers understand the nutritional value of the amount of food/drink they actually consume Therefore, FoodDrinkEurope supports the provision of nutrition information per portion in addition to the information provided per 100g/ml In order to ensure a consistent approach, FoodDrinkEurope has proactively worked on EU industry-wide best practice guidelines on portion sizes and continues to encourage sectors to comply with these guidelines
