Summary
GeneratedThis act amends four 'Breakfast' Directives to update EU marketing standards for honey, fruit juices, jams, and preserved milk. It improves consumer information by requiring country-of-origin labeling for honey blends and aims to reduce food waste. Affected parties include producers, packers, and importers in these agri-food sectors. The legislation was signed in May 2024 and is now in force.
