"According to the new labelling regulations, the energy value, quantities of fats, saturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and salt must be easy to see from the food packaging. Allergenic substances must be highlighted in the list of ingredients. It will become compulsory to specify the country of origin for fresh pork, sheep, goat and poultry meat, and not only for beef, as was the case hitherto. Consumers will be informed about the specific source of origin of vegetable oils used in different products, as is the case with palm oil. In addition, there will be strict rules for preventing consumers from being misled by the type of food packaging, as well as rules for labelling ‘counterfeit foods’ such as cheese or ham. I think that the compromise reached between the European Parliament and the Council will ensure that labels are easier to read, thereby allowing consumers to find the information they need more easily when they go shopping so that they can make fully informed and healthier choices when they are buying food. The new regulations will modernise, simplify and clarify food labelling in the EU. At the same time, the new law will reduce the red tape for producers and operators in the food industry and will strengthen the Single Market."@en1
