The French Decree on the Labelling of the Origin of Milk and Meat Used as an Ingredient and its Compliance with European Rules
France adopted a regulation on mandatory origin labelling for milk, milk used as an ingredient and meat used as an ingredient. The French authorities frame the initiative as an “experimentation”, which will run from 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2018. The mandatory labelling of origin applies only to products manufactured and marketed in France. Despite these precautions, the text raises many questions about its compliance with European rules.
