It's a shame that the Nutriscore is being abolished. Even if the design of products is specifically tailored to a good score, the categorization is still helpful.

Nutri-Score was created by the Ministère de la Santé et de la Prévention in France. It has been criticized because, for example, a highly processed food can be rated better than a natural one. https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/lebensmittel-ampel-nutri-score-umstritten-aber-wohl-nicht-ganz-unwirksam I would welcome a different scoring system that would take this into account. Perhaps the Swiss Retail Federation could create Swiss-Score and replace Nutri-Score in Switzerland.

Or people would learn to turn over a packet themselves and look at the nutritional information, so that with a little knowledge about nutrition (basics, daily calorie requirements, recommended maximum fat and sugar levels) they could simply decide for themselves. But I understand that people are lazy and prefer not to think for themselves, just read what they've chewed because it's so convenient, and then say ohh Nutriscore A, I'll eat the whole packet. Is there also an app that tells me how to eat it? Spoon or fork, I'm overwhelmed😉 (a little exaggerated)
@Bodenseeknusperli: Not all people can be reached with small print, whether in terms of education or because it becomes increasingly difficult to read product information in small print from the age of around 55 (the eyes can no longer focus well and quickly enough). The comments about laziness and lack of independence do not do justice to the various target groups. As indicated in my first comment, I too do not find the Nutriscore ideal and am critical of it. If you know the weaknesses of the score, you can deal with them. However, for the general improvement of customer benefit, I do not suggest abolishing it, but rather improving the quality of the approach, because 'PEOPLE ARE WHAT THEY ARE'. In my opinion, this is not insignificant for our society simply because of the affordability, because even the lower and middle classes can hardly afford the health costs at the end of life, but poor nutrition at a young age can take its revenge in old age, because - we are getting older and older and therefore multimorbidity and the need for care can also increase - the shortage of skilled workers in geriatric care is already glaring today. Lifelong good nutrition is fundamental for good health in old age. It should therefore be possible to reach as many people as possible in this respect, and because people are so different, a wide variety of concepts lead to the goal. Nutriscore could be one of them. I wish you good health and have a great day!
If you value a diet that promotes your health and does as little harm to it as possible, I can recommend "Daily Dozen" by Dr. Greger. There is also an app, but everything is listed/explained in the video. Incidentally, the healthiest foods don't have a list of ingredients, e.g. broccoli, lentils, oatmeal, berries, nuts.
