- Title
Better European food labelling laws to help people with food intolerances.
- Abstract
The article presents information on European food labeling laws introduced by the European Union (EU). The EU directive 2003/89/EC has introduced new food labeling laws in order to protect and provide information to consumers with food allergy and intolerance. They should ensure that all consumers are given better ingredient information and make it easier for people with food allergies to identify ingredients they need to avoid. The new rules remove the 25% compound ingredient listing exemption or 25% rule under which individual ingredients making up a compound ingredient in a food do not have to be listed if the compound ingredient made up less than 25% of the finished products.
