The Global War on "Fake" Food 🍞🥗
The End of the "Hidden Ingredient" Era? France Makes a Historic Move!
​ The culinary world is buzzing with news that could change the way we shop forever. Following a landmark vote in the French National Assembly, France has officially moved to make the Nutri-Score labeling system mandatory for all pre-packed foods as of 2026.
​Why this is a massive deal:
For years, labeling was voluntary. This meant that the 'junk food leaders' could hide behind complicated back-of-pack fine print. Now, it's mandatory. This reform is specifically designed to combat Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) and support healthy choices like cereals, pulses, and minimally processed foods.
​Lawmakers even went a step further, arguing that traditional, artisanal products (like those with PDO/AOP status) should be celebrated, while mass-produced factory foods should finally be exposed for what they are.
​Why this matters to us at Kitchen Passport: As we master artisanal skills like sourdough, long-fermentation, and scratch-cooking, this news validates everything we stand for. Real food doesn't need a marketing team; it just needs quality ingredients. The world is finally shifting from 'counting calories' to 'counting processes'.
​ Look at the last 3 things you bought from a grocery store. If they had a 'Transparency Label' from A (Natural/Healthy) to E (Ultra-Processed), where would they land? Are you ready to trade convenience for clarity? Let’s get real in the comments! 👇
