Short annotation

The presentation will discuss the results of the study analysing the occurrence of "dual food quality" (DFQ) in the EU, and the role of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD) in influencing food industry decisions on packaging and recipe formulation for branded food products. The results provide evidence that the UCPD regulation has played a role in pre-emptively driving companies to reformulate formulations and/or change product packaging, but it was not the primary driver.
