Overview
- The National Assembly adopted identical amendments from socialist and green deputies by voice vote during debate on the 2026 social security budget.
- A sub-amendment by Renaissance MP Jean-François Rousset exempts products carrying AOP, AOC or IGP quality labels from the requirement.
- The measure introduces a 5% turnover levy on companies that fail to display the logo, which budget rapporteur Thibault Bazin criticized as impractical.
- Health Minister Stéphanie Rist issued an unfavorable opinion, warning the obligation could breach EU law, a concern echoed by the ANIA food industry group.
- A final Assembly vote on the budget is scheduled Wednesday before the bill moves to the Senate, so the Nutri-Score mandate is not yet in force.
