Tolerances for Declared Nutrient Values: Guidance Document as a challenging approach
The forthcoming mandatory nutrition declaration requires a harmonized approach by the Member States with respect to official controls and the interpretation of the results.

This Guidance Document is introduced and commented from a scientific point of view.
