This seminar focused on the next steps for food labelling in the UK looking at industry standards, transparency in the supply chain and promoting British produce.
The key discussion points were:
- Front and back of pack and menu labelling - the direction of policy development, with government expected to consult on criteria to be applied and how changes would be enforced;
- Implementation challenges - and burdens across the supply chain, and options for supporting producer and industry compliance;
- UK labelling post-Brexit - including opportunities for greater clarity, looking at allergens, animal welfare standards, and nutrition and health claims;
- Geographical indicators - and the future of country of origin labelling and protected name schemes, and implications for food placed on the EU market after the withdrawal date;
- Consumer information - understanding what nutritional and other information consumers find important and issues around higher welfare cost choices, and assurance markers; and
- Promoting British produce - both domestically and abroad, and learning from international experience.
