Rapport 2017 – Where is the Fruit?

According to the newest edition of Freshfel’s ‘Where is the Fruit?’ study, too many products are displaying fruits prominently on their packaging, despite little to no actual fruit content. This confirms the main findings of a previous study in 2010.
Out of the 188 products investigated from 13 EU Member States (covering 80% of the EU population), only 20% had a fruit content of 50% or more. Another 7% of products contained no fruit at all. These findings show that business practices of food operators are inconsistent with the objectives of the EU Regulation on food information to consumers, as well as the EU Regulation on nutrition and health claims (Persbericht Freshfel, 29 maart 2017).
