On the 27th of May, 2024, Francesco Lollobrigida, Italy's Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Forestry, announced a significant development at the Agriculture and Fisheries Council in Brussels.

José Manuel Fernandes, Portugal's new Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, confirmed that Portugal will cancel its membership of Nutriscore, a labeling system introduced by the previous government.

Lollobrigida emphasized that the Italian system, which opposes Nutriscore for its non-informative and biased labeling, views this as a triumph for quality products like parmesan and olive oil.
