Europees Parlement: Land van herkomst etikettering voor varken, schaap, geit en gevogelte moet strikter

The European Parliament demands stricter rules for fresh, chilled and frozen meat of swine, sheep, goats and poultry in order to not mislead consumers.
This was their reaction to a proposal of the European Commission that would allow pork to be labelled as ‘reared’ in an EU country even if the pig had spent only four months there.
The European Parliament call on the Commission to withdraw the regulation and to draw up a revised version which includes a mandatory place of birth, rearing and slaughter labelling for the meats of swine, sheep, goats and poultry, in line with the existing beef origin labelling legislation (Persbericht Europees Parlement, 6 februari 2014).
