Breakfast directives: Council and Parliament strike deal to improve consumer information for honey, fruit jams and fruit juices
On 30th January, the Belgian presidency of the Council and representatives of the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement to improve consumer information requirements for honey, fruit jams, fruit juices and dehydrated milk. The deal concerns four of the so-called «breakfast directives» and, once formally adopted, will update the rules concerning the composition, labelling, and naming of certain foodstuffs.
The updated directives aim to promote a shift to healthier diets, help consumers make informed choices, and ensure transparency regarding the origin of products.
