Labelling of foodstuffs

Draft Regulation of the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development amending the Regulation on the labelling of certain foodstuffs

In the submitted draft Regulation of the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development amending the Regulation on the labelling of certain foodstuffs, the introduction of a requirement has been proposed to include an image of the flag of the country of origin that shall supplement the information on the country of origin in the case of unpackaged fresh, chilled and frozen meat of pigs, sheep, goats and poultry offered for retail sale.

The requirement expands the obligation to include information on the country of origin in the case of unpackaged fresh, chilled and frozen meat of pigs, sheep, goats and poultry that was introduced by the Regulation of the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development of 18 December 2017, amending the Regulation on the labelling of certain foodstuffs, the draft of which was notified to the European Commission under No 2017/224/PL.

Thus, the requirement to present an image of the flag of the country of origin shall simply supplement the information that is required under current provisions to be visible to consumers in commercial venues on a label directly accompanying the display of meat.
