In the program "Better late" -presented by Mamen Mendizábal- was discussed on June 24 on fraud of some foods and drinks. An always current and important topic for all consumers. The nutritionist and dietician Luis Zamora who presented the cited section together with the presenter compared two wines, one with the counter-label of the DO Bull and another from another Spanish Denomination of Origin. But they left a glimpser wrongly that the first could be fraudulent, without actually being so. That information was not well armed, something that has generated discomfort in the Regulatory Council.
According to the communicators who gave these data, the fact of not including the type of aging of the wine on the counter-label of the DO Bull because it is not interested in giving that information. But from the Denomination of Origin they have issued a statement to clarify that such a statement is false. Due to the mere fact that all young wines cannot be labeled as crianza, reserva or gran reserva. Given this circumstance, they want to clarify the following about what viewers heard:
“We would like to make it clear that the regulations says about the wines without regulated aging, that is, all those who are not crianza, reserva and gran reserva, who have to use the wine strip young and indicate on its labeling the to nothing (It does not necessarily have to be indicated on the back label issued by the Regulatory Council). Similarly, if the wine is red oak or red barrel, the period of permanence in the barrel must be included, indicated in months. "
Rectify is wise
What is clear is that the program information "Better late" -with an audience of around a million people- is not correct and a Denomination of Origin associated with fraud information has been used. DO Toro asks for rectification to the program and is made available to the chain to clarify all the misunderstood.
In short, it is important to report the fraud in food, regulations and product labeling but it is just as necessary to do it properly, without errors. All this so that the consumer can choose better and with more criteria. All partial, unverified or poorly verified information does not help the market or the consumer. Rectifying is wise, will you La Sexta somehow? From the DO Bull They would appreciate it because it can damage their image and prestige.
