Within the EU strategy From Farm to Table, the EU is launching a proposal to revise the rules on information provided to consumers. The objective of this proposal is to guarantee better information on labeling to help citizens make healthier and more sustainable food choices and deal with food waste. Participate Now!

Considering current labeling regulations, the nutritional information provided on food packaging is not always well understood, clear and simple, making it difficult to choose healthy foods.
