TOULOUSE, Oct 13 — Makers of France’s famed Roquefort cheese are demanding a change to an increasingly widespread food labelling system that classes their pungent but popular products as being of poor nutritional value.
Roquefort, a tangy blue cheese from southwest France, is always ranked at the bottom — either at D or E — putting it on a par with sugary drinks and crisps. “It’s paradoxical. There are ultra-processed industrial products with preservatives in them that can get an A or B, but our local and very natural products are stigmatised,” Sebastien Vignette, head of the Roquefort Confederation told a press conference on Monday.The campaign has the support of local MP Stephane Mazars, who represents the Aveyron area where all Roquefort cheese is aged in limestone caves until it develops its characteristic blue mould.
