Language of the case: Swedish

Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen
Parties to the main proceedings
Appellant: Nestlé Sverige AB
Respondent: Miljönämnden i Helsingborgs kommun
Questions referred
Can information regarding a product’s energy value and the amounts of different nutrients it contains, which is provided elsewhere than in the nutrition declaration, constitute an additional description of the product’s properties and characteristics, as referred to in Article 5(2)(g) of Regulation 2016/128 1 ?
If the answer to Question 1 is in the affirmative, does Article 6(2), which prohibits the repetition on the labelling of the information included in the mandatory nutrition declaration, preclude the indication, in a description under Article 5(2)(g), of information on the energy value and the amounts of different nutrients, if that information is expressed in a way other than per 100 g or per 100 ml?
