EU-Committee: No nutritional declaration for alcoholic beverages
Dienstag 6. April 2010 von htm
On Tuesday, 16th March the European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety voted on the EC Proposed regulation on the provision on food information to consumers.
MEPs voted to exclude alcoholic beveragres from the mandatory nutritional declaration requirement (Article 29). Eurocare is disappointed that the EU Parliament Committee rejected an obligation to tell consumers what ingredients or the amount of calories or carbohydrates that are in alcoholic beverages. Eurocare hopes that the EP plenary will overturn this decision when it votes in May and calls on the European Parliament to prioritise the health needs of European citizens.
