lpv:spoken text	"I welcome this regulation, which supports consumers’ entitlement to accurate information about the food they eat and where it comes from. I especially welcome the provisions relating to the country of origin. While the origin of certain foods such as beef, honey, olive oil and fresh fruit and vegetables must already be shown on labels, these new rules will extend them to other foods. This regulation is also good news for allergy sufferers, as all ingredients – including allergenic substances – must be indicated on the labels of pre-packed foods. Without proper labelling, allergy sufferers may buy a product containing harmful ingredients without realising it. I also welcome the proposal for information on allergens to be given on food sold in restaurants or canteens. This information must be provided in a clear and consistent manner and must be easily understood by people. The provision of such information will allow consumers to make better-informed and healthier choices."@en1
