Distinction of the national product in the labeling
The company distinguishes the national or regional origin in the labeling of its own brand products or establishes it as a goal before 2022.
About the data
The entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2018/775, which regulates information on the origin of foodstuffs in the European Union, makes it possible to know in greater detail the origin of the products we find on the market. Consumers will be able to know more easily the origin of the food they buy on the market.
One of the requirements consists of detailing the country of origin. As already advanced in Regulation 1169/2011, the country of origin must be indicated when omitting it could mislead the consumer about the real origin of the product (for example, when the place of origin of the product is not the same as that of its primary ingredient).
With this metric we aim to assess that companies go a step further and make it easier for consumers through labelling to better visually distinguish the origin of their own-brand products.
