"We have finally reached an agreement on a new European regulation on food information for consumers in the EU. This regulation will bring Europe’s consumers tangible improvements in their day-to-day lives, which is why I supported it. Those who wish to do so will now be able to make healthier and more informed choices about what they buy, as labelling will be properly legible, with a minimum size of typeface and rules on clarity and contrast. In addition, for the first time, it will now be compulsory to include a nutritional statement on the energy value and the quantities of protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars and salt. This nutritional information will have to be stated as quantity per 100g/100ml, which will enable people to compare products quickly and easily. Another important point to note is that it will be obligatory to mention allergens in the list of ingredients, where applicable, which is a significant step, considering the clear consumer demand on this subject. This will also apply to non-packaged foods, such as dishes in restaurants and canteens. Lastly, consumers will be informed of whether vegetable oils, such as palm oil, are present and, if so, of their precise origin."@en1
