GLENIS Willmott, MEP, has written (Mailbox, June 12) that MEPs will be voting on "whether shoppers have a right to clear and understandable information about the food we buy" and sets out her support for traffic light food labelling.
I am also keen to establish concise and understandable food labelling but I believe that the complex nutritional composition of a food and its place in the diet cannot be reduced to a simple colour.
The system of traffic light labelling excessively simplifies nutritional profiles, causing even the most basic information to become vague and abstract.
A diet cola drink would be labelled as green under such a system whereas a carton of natural apple tory burch sale juice would be amber or even red due to the tory burch sale levels of natural sugar in it. It would be irresponsible to vote in such a system.
Consumers tory burch sale want to know where their food is from and essential information on what is in it. They do not want to be dictated to about what food they can and cannot eat.
Emma McClarkin, MEP, Conservative, East Midlands.
