Food and Drink Industry Ireland have launched a practical industry guide on labelling to help companies comply with the first major overhaul of Europe's food labelling rules in 30 years. The guide was launched at a major industry seminar in the Citywest Hotel, Dublin, which was opened by Minister for Food Safety Tom Hayes TD.
The EU's new Food Information to Consumers Regulation, which replaces the current rules, sets out the requirements for the provision of food information to consumers. It also sets out new requirements with regard to the provision of nutritional information. The Regulation will apply from 13 December 2014, with the exception of mandatory nutrition declaration, which will apply from 13 December 2016.
