Poland: Nutrition labelling

Published: 03/02/2017

With the objective to improve consumer’s awareness and understanding of nutritional information, since 2007 the Polish Food Federation (PFPZ) has been implementing the Nutrition Labelling Voluntary Programme (RI, formerly GDA) in Poland.

RI are introduced to Polish Consumers with the support of the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate and the Polish Federation of Consumers in the context of a public-private partnership.

The initiatives taken so far include education to food manufacturers to help them introduce the RI system on their products’ packages as well as the countrywide educational campaign “Choose with GDA” dedicated to consumers.

The Polish Federation is currently engaged to provide food manufacturers with information on the new legislative requirements applying to RI.
