Over 150 independent scientific studies have demonstrated the Nutri-Score's effectiveness in guiding consumer behavior towards healthier food choices. Despite this evidence, its legal status remains a complex issue, with its implementation largely voluntary across adopting countries.

Standardized "Nutrition Facts" labeling became mandatory for most prepackaged foods in Canada on December 12, 2005, following the introduction of regulatory amendments by the Government of Canada in 2003. This major regulatory change provided consumers with consistent and reliable nutritional information to make informed food choices.
