European Union
Jan 31, 2024
The Belgian presidency of the Council and representatives of the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement to improve consumer information requirements for honey, fruit jams, fruit juices and dehydrated milk.
The deal concerns four of the so-called 'breakfast directives' and, once formally adopted, will update the rules concerning the composition, labelling, and naming of certain foodstuffs.
The updated directives aim to promote a shift to healthier diets, help consumers make informed choices, and ensure transparency regarding the origin of products.
