The project will draw heavily on the involvement of other stakeholders from the whole food sector in order to ensure strong results with clear practical relevance. The summary of responses to the Directorate General for Health and Consumer Protection consultation on labelling, states that all the consumer and health NGOs call for mandatory nutrition labelling, whilst there are mixed views in the food and drinks industry (DG SANCO, 2006).
Through the creation of a Stakeholder Advisory Board, the Flabel consortium will ensure that the various views are integrated into the project. In doing so, Flabel consortium recommendations will match the decision-making needs of stakeholders.
