Empowering consumers to make healthy and sustainable choices

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) publishes the results of four scientific studies related to food information to consumers.

The European Commission will use the findings of these studies as input for a proposal to revise the EU rules on the information provided to consumers as part of the EU’s ‘Farm-to-Fork’ Strategy and Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

Labelling can help consumers make informed, healthy and sustainable food choices.
