Encouraging EU shoppers to make the right choice: Food sustainability is in consumers hands

Encouraging EU shoppers to make the right choice: ‘Food sustainability is in consumers’ hands’ The consumer is integral to the success of a healthy and sustainable Farm to Fork strategy. How is the European Commission supporting shoppers to make better diet choices? The European Commission’s Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy, unveiled in May 2020, aims to engage all players along the supply chain – from, as the name suggests, farm-to-fork. In an effort to improve human and planetary health, the Commission has set a host of actions directed at the agricultural sector. These include reduction targets for chemical and hazardous pesticides, and fertilisers, as well as improved animal welfare.

How Oatly, Upfield and ProVeg plan to overthrow Amendment 171

Challenger brand Oatly and Flora margarine-owner Upfield are among the brands hoping to overturn a ban on dairy-like terminology for plant-based alternatives. The European Dairy Association, however, tells FoodNavigator that challenging Amendment 171 ‘undermines clear consumer information’. A new petition is calling on the European Commission and Member States to reject Amendment 171. Voted in by the European Parliament in October last year, the amendment bans dairy-related terms for plant-based alternatives. This means that once enforced, terms such as ‘almond milk’ and ‘vegan cheese’, as well as ‘yogurt-style’ and ‘cheese alternative’, will be prohibited for dairy-free products sold across the bloc. The ban was not well received by many outside the dairy industry. At the time, the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) said the Parliament’s decision was a ‘pity’, and that such terms had ‘nothing to do with consumer protec

EC kicks off food contact material revision: Public health has been inadequately protected from toxic chemicals for too long

Subscribe EC kicks off food contact material revision: ‘Public health has been inadequately protected from toxic chemicals for too long’ By Katy Askew The European Commission has initiated a process to update EU laws governing chemicals in food contact materials (FCM). “The EU’s FCM laws are outdated and ineffective in protecting people and the environment,” according to one lobby group. Almost everything we eat has touched one or more food contact material (FCM), from food packaging and factory equipment to kitchen utensils. EU rules on FCMs state that they should be ‘sufficiently inert’ so that their constituents neither adversely affect consumer health nor influence the quality of the food.

Dutch Lawsuit Seeks Quicker Resolution In Google Privacy Case

Privacy regulators say the system benefits companies, freeing them from facing investigations by different authorities in the 27-member union, potentially for the same violation. While the GDPR’s one-stop shop was designed to streamline interactions between companies and regulators, it has caused bottlenecks and frustration. The Irish regulator’s decision to fineTwitter Inc. €450,000 ($546,000) in December was delayed several months because of disputes with regulators in other EU countries, which wanted a larger penalty. The Hamburg authority, for instance, recommended a fine between €7 million and €22 million. The violation was related to a security hole that Twitter disclosed in January 2019. With its lawsuit, the Consumentenbond wants the Netherlands court system to require the local data protection authority to investigate a privacy complaint filed in 2018 against Google. The complaint alleges that
