The European Commission faces questions over dropped plans to introduce mandatory food labelling after two food NGOs - foodwatch international and Access Info - filed a case with the EU General Court claiming that the executive refused to disclose reasonable information on the scheme.
The initiative to introduce mandatory front-of-packet labelling was part of the broader Farm to Fork Strategy presented by the Commission in 2020 and aimed to harmonise the nutritional information provided to consumers, but has since been quietly dropped.
