"Made in the EU" label planned for food and drinks
All food and drinks produced in the European Union (EU) may be required to bear a "Made in the EU" label soon, according to a proposal being considered by the European Commission. The proposal, prepared by Markos Kyprianou, EU commissioner for health and consumer protection, says all goods of which final production takes place in the EU, including those which made use of imported resources, would be included under the label, the EU observer reported on Monday. Only meat products would be excluded, and would have to retain their national production label. The "Made in the EU" proposal, set to be made public in late December, is one of the new labeling requirements for food products now considered by the commission.
Comment EU-Digest: Excellent idea by the Commission as it will provide the consumer more information and choice about the product and the quality of the product they purchase.
