Questions and Answers on Food Information to Consumers

Brussels, 11 December 2014

Today's consumers, whether shopping on-line or in a supermarket, increasingly want clearer and more understandable food labelling to help them make informed choices on the food they eat. In addition, more and more people suffer from allergies. How is a teenager with a peanut allergy supposed to know what he can eat when dining out with friends? How can someone who wants to reduce their salt intake, know which snack is the best option? How can consumers be assured of the origin of the meat they just bought? New rules to address these sorts of issues and others will apply from 13 December 2014 across the EU.

Was there really a need to change the food labelling legislation?

The current legislation on general food labelling dates back to 1978 and nutrition labelling rules were adopted in 1990. Consumer demands and marketing practices have evolved significantly since then. EU consumers want to be better informed when purchasing food. They want labels that are understandable, accurate and not misleading. After more than three years in the making, the new legislation will help consumers make informed decisions on the food they buy. It could aslo contribute to a better lifestyle and healthier choices.

What changes can I expect to see from the new labelling scheme?

The new legislation lays down general principles on food labelling. It also provides more specific requirements that include for example:

Improved legibility of information (minimum font size for mandatory information); Clearer and harmonised presentation of allergens for prepacked foods (emphasis by font, style or background colour) in the list of ingredients; Mandatory allergen information for non-prepacked food, including restaurants and cafes; Requirement of certain nutrition information for majority of prepacked processed foods; Mandatory origin information for fresh meat from pigs, sheep, goats and poultry; Same labelling requirements for online, distance-selling or buying in a shop; List of engineered nanomaterials in the ingredients. Specific information on the vegetable origin of refined oils and fats; Strengthened rules to prevent misleading practices; Indication of substitute ingredient for 'Imitation' foods; Clear indication of "formed meat" or "formed fish"; and Clear indication of defrosted products.

Will small, illegible information be addressed?

This is a key issue addressed in the new legislation. The rules require that mandatory information must be printed in a minimum font size and voluntary information (e. g. slogans or claims) must not be presented in a way that adversely affects the presentation of the mandatory information. Additional rules on legibility will also be established in the future.

Will the new rules help me to eat more healthily?

In principle, yes. Clearer information on certain important nutritional characteristics of processed foods – Energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt – will be provided. This will enable consumers to compare foods before purchasing, helping them to make more informed dietary choices to meet their individual requirements. It will also be possible for information on selected nutrients to be included on the front of the package, which will make it easier for consumers to compare products when shopping.

How are the information needs of people suffering from allergies taken into account?

The new rules strengthen the existing information on certain substances causing allergic reactions or intolerances. The aim is to inform and better protect the health of people with food allergies. Food businesses will need to provide such information on all foods. It is down to the national authorities in EU Member States to decide the means by which such information should be provided.

What are the food information requirements if I buy food online or through distance-selling?

The new rules explicitly state that when food is sold via distance communication, most of the mandatory information on the label shall be available before the purchase is concluded. This information shall appear on the material supporting the distance selling (webpage or catalogue) or through other appropriate means. This requirement takes full account of all ways of supplying food to consumers. In other words, information that is to be provided on food labels, is the same regardless of whether the product was bought online, through distance-selling means (for example a catalogue) or in a supermarket.

Will I be better informed on the origin of my food with the new rules?

The new rules maintain, in general, the current approach: Country of origin or place of provenance labelling on food is voluntary, unless its absence could mislead consumers.

The Regulation introduces Mandatory origin labelling for fresh meat from sheep, goat, poultry and pigs. As of 1 April 2015, with some exemptions, the Member State or third country where the animal was reared and slaughtered will appear on the label of such meats.

For foods bearing origin indications, the country of origin or place of provenance of the main ingredients must also be listed if those ingredients originate from a different place than the declared origin of the finished product. For example, butter churned in Belgium from Danish milk could be labelled as "produced in Belgium from Danish milk." The application of these rules is subject to the adoption of implementing acts which have not yet been adopted by the Commission.

Those rules intend to protect consumers from misleading origin indications and will ensure a level playing field between food business operators.

How can I know whether I eat an "authentic" and not a "fake" food?

Counterfeiting of food and drink is a major concern. It can take various forms, such as adulterating a product by dilution or substitution of inferior ingredients or implying a false origin of the product.

The new rules will ensure that when a food is not exactly what it appears to be, relevant information will be provided to prevent consumers from being misled by a certain presentation or appearance. When some ingredients, normally expected to be in the food, have been replaced by others, the substitute ingredients will be labelled prominently on the package and not only in the list of ingredients. For meat and fish products, prominent information will be given on the presence of added water and of any added proteins of different animal origin. In addition, such foods when they give the impression that they are made of a whole piece of meat or fish, although they consist of different pieces combined together, will be labelled as "formed meat" or "formed fish."

For foods implying or indicating a false origin, the new rules set certain criteria to ensure that voluntary origin indications do not mislead consumers. Operators who make origin claims are required to provide further information so that people know where the characterising ingredient of the food actually comes from, not just the last country where the food was processed.

Will we see the changes on the labels from 13 December 2014?

Yes, the food industry has had a transitional period of three years to ensure that that rules will come into effect as of 13 December 2014. However, you may still find on the market products labelled with the old rules as the Regulation provides for exhaustion of stocks for foods placed on the market or labelled before 13 December 2014 (Attention: not exhaustion of stocks for labels).

The rules on mandatory nutrition information will only apply from 13 December 2016. When however the nutrition declaration is provided on the labels after 13 December 2014, it shall comply with the rules of the Regulation.

What should I do if I see a label that does not respect the new rules after 13 December 2014?

The enforcement of EU labelling rules is entrusted to the Member States and complaints should be addresses to the national competent authorities.

The party was set for the following weekend. Henry ( SEND ) Stan an email several days earlier, but he wasn’t sure if Stan’s computer was up and running yet, and Stan wasn’t always the best at returning emails.

Wind farms

It seems that wind energy has found a friend in the UK. A new study shows that wind farms are the ( POPULAR ) type of renewable energy source among the British.

Two thousand people were asked about their preferences for energy sources. Nearly 50% of them said they would welcome wind farms even if they ( CONSTRUCT ) within seven kilometres of their home.

Coal-powered energy is less favourable to people, as only 20% of citizens prefer to have this type of power source in ( THEY ) neighbourhood.

Despite the preference for wind farms, the UK government isn’t keen on ( ALLOW ) farms to be built inland. The aim is to build offshore wind farms and to use land for other purposes.

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a Russian scientist. He worked during the late 19th and early 20th century on the ( DEVELOP ) of theories in rocket science and space flight, and is considered one of the pioneers of astronautics.

His work with rockets can be easily seen today. The jet engines that steer rockets in space were developed by Tsiolkovsky, and the airlocks that allow astronauts to enter and exit space were his ( INVENT ) as well.

Tsiolkovsky often had trouble getting funding for his projects. He was quite ( PROGRESS ) for his time, and the Russian science programmes didn’t always believe in his work.

In 1903 he published an article which proved that rockets could fly into space. Although it is now a basic ( SCIENCE ) principle, no one in his field appreciated the article when it was written.

Many of Tsiolkovsky’s ideas went on to be used in rocket science and space travel. Like most scientists, though, some of his ideas were considered ( PRACTICAL ) and were ignored as a result.

One such idea stated that humans would ( EVENTUAL ) move to other parts of our galaxy to live. Science is still a long way off that, but the idea is still alive.

Sepak takraw

Have you heard of sepak takraw? It’s a sport in Southeast Asia which ( PLAY ) like volleyball, except players use their feet to kick the ball and not their hands.

The sport has been around since the 15th century, with records ( SHOW ) that it was played by one of the royal families of the Malay region at that time.

The word ‘sepak’ is Malay for ‘kick’ and ‘takraw’ is Thai for ‘woven ball’; thus, the name of the sport literally means ‘kick ball’. The combination of these words from different languages represents a symbol of solidarity between two of the ( POWERFUL ) countries in the region.

British English

British English is a form of English used in many parts of the world. Generally, areas of the world that have been strongly influenced by the British, such as the Commonwealth Nations, or areas that are ( GEOGRAPHY ) closer to the UK than the United States, use and study this form of English.

Because of the UK’s influence on the world for hundreds of years, British English has become an ( NATIONAL ) language, along with American English.

Many phrasal verbs, idioms and other ( EXPRESS ) have slightly different wording in other forms of English. The phrasal verb ‘get on’ in British English, meaning have a good relationship, is ‘get along’ in American English, for example.

Differences between the forms have also resulted in many students writing ( SPELL ) words when they try to write in one form or the other.

British English is the official form of English used in the European Union, along with 24 other languages. This was made ( EFFECT ) in 1973, when the UK joined the European Community.

Culturally, British English is thought to be the most definitive form of the English language. The dozens of distinct accents in the UK add another level of ( RICH ) to the language.

Linking the two sides of the continent meant that development could accelerate in Siberia. Before the railway, rivers were the main form of transport, and in the winter, people rode horse-drawn carriages over ( THEY ) after they had frozen.

Nowadays, the Trans-Siberian Railway gives Russians and foreign travellers the chance to see an enormous part of the Russian countryside. More than that, however, agricultural goods and manufactured products ( TRANSPORT ) across the country on the railway.

Getting back to nature

The resulting loss of our children’s ( RELATION ) with nature means they’re missing out on opportunities to make discoveries about plants and wildlife, and to build a love and respect for the natural world.

Instead, children spend a lot of their time watching television, playing video games or surfing the internet. School ( ADMINISTRATE ) are beginning to notice this problem and have begun to address it.

More and more schools are taking children to nature reserves on school trips in an effort to ( CLAIM ) this lost appreciation of nature.

The experience allows children to enjoy some time outside in a ( MEANING ) way. It helps relieve the pressure that they face from their studies while providing a learning experience as well.

Oases

Oases are areas where trees and plants grow around a body of water in the middle of a desert. They are ( USUAL ) phenomena because there is so little water or vegetation in desert areas.

How does the water in an oasis get there? It doesn’t come from the sky, but rather, from underneath the ground. Believe it or not, there are underground rivers and layers of rock which contain water beneath the ( SAND ) desert floor.

Pressure from underneath these water sources pushes the water to the surface. In other cases, people have drawn the water out ( ARTIFICIAL ), through the use of man-made wells.

An oasis can be quite small, only able to support a limited number of trees and to supply a little water for those who pass by. Other oases are big enough to supply considerable populations of people with ( DRINK ) water.

People who survive on oases must be very ( CARE ) with how they use the water, because they must use it to grow food as well as to drink.

Many oases have survived for years. They have been of great ( IMPORTANT ) in terms of setting up trade routes across the desert.
