Want to know where the products you buy in supermarkets come from? An origin-score, like the nutri-score, could appear soon.
We know the nutri-score well, here is soon the origin-score. Consumers are paying more and more attention to what they buy, whether for their budget (here are 4 tips for paying less for your clothes) or for the eco-responsible aspect. But if there is no shortage of scams (like this news on Vinted or the one targeting loved ones of the deceased), the objective is to provide as much information as possible to decide to buy accordingly.
In addition to the colored letters indicating the more or less harmful effects on health, the French will soon be able to find out more about the origin of the products. Guest of South Radio this Thursday, February 22, 2024, the Minister for Consumer Affairs Olivia Grégoire said more about this novelty, planned in Europe for 2025. However, it should make its appearance before in France.

An origin-score soon in supermarkets?
Olivia Grégoire confirmed to the site actu.fr that‘a first version of origin-score is possible for this summer in supermarkets. It would give an indication of the origins of the ingredients with a logo placed on the packaging, in the shape of a “small factory”, surrounded by a round “camembert” showing the three main ingredients. It could be inspired by the one imagined by the collective In truth which works for more transparency in the field of consumption.
Today, some use a French flag on their packaging wrongly, according to Olivia Grégoire’s office. The goal is for distributors to use this logo.

Consumers informed about the origin of products
Because like the nutri-score, it will not be compulsory but voluntary. This also responds to consumer demand. The majority want to know the origin of the products they put in their shopping cart.
It remains to be seen whether the example will be followed and when the logo will be implemented. A meeting is due to take place in Bercy in mid-March. It will bring together the ministry, brands and manufacturers.
