Easier Identification of Insect-Containing Food: New Product Labels
This draft law introduces a mandatory graphic symbol on food products containing insect-derived ingredients. Its purpose is to help consumers quickly identify such food and make informed purchasing decisions, especially regarding potential allergies and personal preferences. The aim is to protect consumers from unknowingly buying products that do not meet their expectations.
Key points
A new, clear graphic symbol will appear on packaged and loose food products to indicate the presence of insects.
The symbol aims to assist individuals with allergies to crustaceans, mollusks, or dust mites, as insects can trigger similar reactions.
Companies will have 6 months to implement new labeling and 12 months to sell already labeled products from the law's effective date.
