Dr. Oetker introduces Nutri-Score labelling

Dr Oetker Ireland has introduced Nutri-Score labelling this month, and it is now visible on the front of the brand’s Ristorante products. All other Dr Oetker pizza ranges in Ireland will be progressively labelled with a Nutri-Score in the coming months.

Nutri-Score is an independent European Food labelling system applied to the front of packaging. The evaluation is based on a fixed scheme in which nutritionally favourable nutrients and ingredients (protein, fibre, fruits, vegetables and nuts) are weighed up against unfavourable nutrients (sodium, saturated fatty acids and sugar). It results in an overall score using a five-level colour scale: A is green to represent the best nutritional quality while E is dark orange to show it’s the lowest

The company sees this as an important step to offer consumers the best possible transparency on the nutritional values and ingredients of its products, so they can make conscious purchase decisions. The health properties of existing products are continuously optimized; Dr Oetker has been progressively working to reduce sugar and salt in its products and, where possible, improving the nutritional profiles, while also ensuring that the taste remains just as good as ever “We are very excited to be one of the first food brands in Ireland to launch

Guidance designed to take the uncertainty out of waste segregation for businesses is now available from MyWaste, Ireland’s official guide to waste. This government-funded initiative provides a free and extensive suite of signage and training materials to help workforces make accurate recycling decisions.

This will assist Irish businesses achieve greater Circular Economy performance through increased recycling and composting rates. A waste characterisation study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that almost 70% of materials being placed in the general commercial waste bins is waste that should be placed in the recycling or food waste bins. Targeted materials (those suitable for recycling) accounted for only 60% of the materials in the mixed dry recycling bins, with food waste among the contaminants.

The study also found that by improving waste segregation practices, businesses could divert significant amounts of waste from the general waste stream annually

Speaking on behalf of the Regional Waste Management Planning Offices, Kevin Swift, Connacht Ulster Region Waste Office said: “This initiative will empower small and medium size businesses, particularly those in the retail, hospitality manufacturing and corporate sectors, to further improve how their waste is managed. With clear language and visuals, the materials will make it easy for staff to quickly understand what waste goes in what bin. This should help significantly increase the amount of recyclables and food waste diverted from the general bin and correctly placed in the recycling and food waste bins.”
