Abstract

Pandemiji pretilosti pripisuju se povećani rizici od određenih karcinoma, koronarnih bolesti, dijabetesa tipa 2, moždanog udara te značajno povećanje rane smrtnosti. Neadekvatna prehrana te sve veća dostupnost prerađenih i ultra-prerađenih proizvoda također je jedan od čimbenika koji doprinosi porastu broja osoba oboljelih od pretilosti. Jedna od uloga nutricioniste je i pravilno informiranje potrošača/konzumenata te se u ovome radu opisuju konceptualni modeli koji se koriste kao nutritivne informacije na ambalaži. Prikazan je način izračuna nutritivne deklaracije tzv. Nutri-score i oznake razine prerade tzv. NOVA. Za četiri proizvoda prikazan je način izračuna te kako boje, slova i brojevi nude informacije potrošaču. Navedene nutritivne oznake imaju za cilj pomoći potrošačima u trenutku kupnje imati mogućnost usporedbe i izbora proizvoda u skladu sa svojim životnim, etičkim i/ili prehrambenim načelima. A nutricionist je pri edukaciji o razumijevanju nutritivnih oznaka nezaobilazan element.

Abstract (english)

The pandemic of obesity is attributed to increased risks of certain cancers, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and a significant increase in early mortality. Inadequate nutrition and increasing availability of processed and ultra-processed products is also one of the factors contributing to the increase in the number of obese people. One of the roles of a nutritionist is to properly inform consumers, and this paper describes the conceptual models that are used as nutritional information on the packaging. It is presented how to calculate the nutritional declaration (for four food products) of the so-called: Nutri-score and the level of processing of the so-called: NOVA, by applying colours, letters and numbers. These nutritional labels are intended to help consumers, at the time of purchase to be able to compare and choose products in accordance with their life, ethical and/or dietary principles. And the nutritionist is an indispensable element in education about understanding nutritional labels.
