Food Information Regulation: Update on Compromise Agreement (Amendment 136)

Summary

The new Food Information Regulation being discussed is intended to consolidate all the amendments made to the current Food Labelling Regulation and modernise it, as well as ensure greater consistency of rules between Member States. This Guidance Note lists the main changes this new Food Information Regulation will make to current food labelling rules in the UK. Only the changes likely to affect seafood businesses are included: definitions, legibility, responsibilities, mandatory and voluntary particulars, distance selling, allergen information, date of freezing, presentation, added water.
