New EU labelling rules could cost millions

Kaarin Goodburn, secretary general of the Chilled Food Association, told FoodManufacture.co.uk that the new regulations were “ bad news for the whole food manufacturing industry”.
Goodburn added: “ Manufacturers will now have to rethink the packaging of all products on sale. For our membership alone, the expenses could extend into seven figures. ”
The FIR, published by the European Union, requires manufacturers to print mandatory information on all food and drink products sold within the EU. That information must include a product’s nutritional value, its origin, and its allergy information.
Mandatory
The new labelling rules will become mandatory, for all values except nutrition, from 2014. The rules for nutrition will be enforced from 2016.
