A Directive amending current EU labelling legislation to tighten up the definition of the term 'meat' for the labelling of meat-based products entered into force on 1 January 2003 with a double circulation period of affected products until end of June 2003. Consumers generally perceive meat to mean muscle-meat. The new definition will allow consumers to clearly see if they are eating muscle-meat, fat or offal. The Directive applies to products that contain meat as an ingredient, while meat sold without further processing is excluded. Affected products include sausages, pâté, cooked meats, prepared dishes and canned meat. |
