David Byrne, responsible for health and consumer protection, welcomed today the strong support of the European Parliament in its first reading to the Commission's proposal for an amendment to the food labelling Directive(1). The draft law is intended to ensure that all consumers are informed of the complete contents of foodstuffs and to enable consumers with allergies to identify any allergenic ingredients that may be present.
