"I voted in favour of this regulation on food labelling because its aim is to help consumers make more informed choices – by extending compulsory labelling to other nutrients and introducing new rules on country of origin – and because this proposal simplifies, updates and merges into a single piece of legislation seven directives and one regulation currently in force on food labelling, thus making the law simpler. I also supported the call for handcrafted products and wines not to be covered by this regulation on account of their special nature which, in the case of wine, has already resulted in its own regulation. Country of origin labelling, which is already mandatory for certain foods, such as beef, honey, fruit, vegetables and olive oil, should be extended to all kinds of meat, poultry and dairy products.
The country of origin must also be indicated for meat, poultry and fish used as ingredients in processed foods. In the case of meat and foods containing meat, ‘origin’ must be defined as the country in which the animal was born, reared and slaughtered, and not where the meat is processed, as is currently the case."@en1
