"After our decision to adopt this report, consumers will, in future, be given clearer, more legible and more comprehensive food labelling. The mandatory labelling of origin that applies to beef has been extended to fresh pork, lamb, mutton, goat meat and poultry. This is genuine progress, for which we have the European Parliament to thank. In the future, we must go further still and impose mandatory country-of-origin labelling on the meat present in processed foods, for example, and on certain ‘single ingredient’ foods, though without imposing excessive constraints on producers, of course.
At a time when our fellow citizens are taking an increasing interest in the quality of the products they consume, it was vital for the European Union to improve information standards and address consumer demands. In addition to the progress on labelling of origin, the legibility of labels has also been improved. The nutritional information will make it easier to compare different foods and to make more informed choices."@en1
