In virtue of the new goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, it is appropriate to revisit not only the current legislative system, but to do so in an expedient manner, in particular by helping to appropriately empower consumers when choosing and using food products. For this, it is not only necessary to make consumers aware of the need for behavior that is more in keeping with the new sustainability policies, but also to inform them appropriately. In this sense, it is appropriate to evaluate the legal aspects that serve to this effect, one of which is the labeling of foodstuffs, particularly in the front of pack labeling. Providing simple, non-chaotic nutritional information can contribute to eco-friendlier and sustainable consumer behavior.
