Apparaît en parenthèses à la fin de titres d'articles de presse traitant de sécurité alimentaire. (tout comme MHE, SL et HL)
Il ne semble pas y avoir de cohérence entre les titres suivis d'un même sigle (NL, par ex), et certains titres ne sont suivis d'aucun sigle.

Quelqu'un a-t-il une idée?
D'avance merci

(abbreviaiton for name of publication?)

Is there only a SINGLE one after each title? If so, could they possibly be initials to identify the piblciation that was the source of the article? I have often seen this technique used in other contexts, though I can't suggest the particular titles here, as this isn't my specific field.

You may be able to check it out by researching the titles of the articles and seeing if you can find at least one that comes from an identified source; it would perhaps also help to know if these are specialist press or general public publications.

I must admit that none of the initials immediately inspires me, particularly with that recurrent 'L' ('J' for 'Journal' might be more likely, for example), though I did find one publication called MHE, albeit in the field of mental health, so hard to see any particular connection with food hygiene...
Note from asker:
Yes. Only one per title.
