The new Regulation 2018\/775 is currently published. It is referred to the indication of Country of origin (CO) or place of provenance (PP) from the primary ingredient, included in the Regulation 1169\/2011 regulatory framework about food information provided to consumers.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0primary ingredient<\/strong>\u00a0means an ingredient of a food that represent more than 50% of it, or when it is associated with the name of the food by the consumer. If a food does not have a primary ingredient this Regulation is not applied.<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>\u00a0should it be applied? In case of declaration of the CO\/PP the food, either voluntarily or compulsory (see article 25 from Regulation 1169\/2011) and if it does not match with the primary ingredient origin, the declaration of origin of the primary ingredient becomes compulsory.<\/p>\n

Always? No, there are\u00a0exclusions<\/strong>\u00a0such as: those denominations of habitual foods that include an origin (for example: Icelandic moss), the trade\u2019s address, legal denominations of geographical indications, registered trademarks, protected geographical indications, identification marks (see Regulation 853\/2004), pictures used to help consumers find their language in the label and indications such as \u201cProduced by\u201d or \u201cPackaged by\u201d + the name of the company.<\/p>\n

In case one of our products must have the indication, how do we proceed?<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By the use of one of the following sentences, regarding to an area:<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cEU\u201d, \u201cnon-EU\u201d or \u201cEU and non-EU\u201d<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Region or any other geographical area located within several Member States<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 FAO fishing areas, or sea or freshwater body well understood by the average consumer<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Member states or third country\/ies<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Region or geographical area which is well understood by average consumers<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0 Country of origin or place of provenance in accordance with specific Union provisions<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By means of a statement: \u201c(name of the primary ingredient) do\/does not originate from (the country of origin or the place of provenance of the food)\u201d or a similar sentence.<\/p>\n

It is not until April 1, 2020 that the new Regulation will become applicable. So all those food companies affected, have the time set to adapt the correct indication of the country of origin of their food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Regulation 2018\/775 is currently published.
