Iberian pork producers ask Spain to exempt jamón ibérico from Nutri-Score
Spain's Inter-professional Iberian Pig Association is asking for jamón ibérico to be excluded from the Nutri-Score food labelling scheme, which rates it D or E. The association says the algorithm fails to take account of the nutritional value of Iberian pork, including protein, B vitamins and minerals. Spain's agriculture minister has expressed concern; the consumer affairs ministry did not respond to a request for comment.
