Summary

Abstract Governments across Europe are developing policies which promote healthier, more sustainable food choices. This presentation explores these policies with a focus on the EU.

This committed to introduce legislative proposals to revise rules on food labelling for consumers. On the one hand, focusing on health, the Commission committed to introduce harmonised front-of-pack nutrition labelling, nutrient profiling criteria to restrict claims made on foods, extending mandatory origin or provenance information for certain products, and revise the rules on ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ dates by 2022.
