New provisions on food labelling

17/12/2014

On December 13, 2014 the EU regulation no. 1169/11 on the provision of food information to consumers, entered into force. The Regulation, aimed at establishing a consistent European legal framework, overlaps with the obsolete national legislation of the Legislative Decree no. 109/92 and combines the provisions of Directive 2000/13/CE -on labelling of foodstuff- and the directive 90/496/CEE on the nutritional indications in the labelling of foodstuff. The new Regulation is aimed at improving, facilitating and harmonizing the level of information and protection of European consumers by providing them with the grounds to make informed choices and to make safe use of food, also from a health, economic, environmental, social and ethical standpoint.
