United Kingdom - Compulsory 'Place of Farming' labelling

11-May-2009 (17 years 1 months 2 days ago)In the latest draft of its Agricultural Product Quality paper, the agriculture directorate says all European Union agricultural products should carry a compulsory “place of farming” label.
More detail about the plan will be published on 27 May — but if the proposal becomes compulsory it will put an end to consumers being misled by the legal practice of labelling bacon and ham made from imported pigmeat as “British”.
It will also blow the cover of retailers and processors who in the past have used tertiary brands with British-sounding names to make imported pork products appear British.
