New regulations are now in effect that clarify labeling rules for spreads, allowing products made from various fruits to be labeled simply as "Marmelade." Additionally, the rules governing honey have been updated, requiring producers to list all source countries and their precise weight percentages on labels.
Key points
- The new regulations eliminate confusion regarding whether a spread should be called 'Konfitüre' or 'Fruchtaufstrich,' allowing for the simple term 'Marmelade.'
- Previously, EU law required that only spreads made from citrus fruits could be labeled as 'Marmelade,' while others had to use 'Konfitüre.'
- The labeling of honey must now specify all source countries and list them in descending order of their proportion, including the percentage weight.
- These changes are implemented through a federal agricultural ministry ordinance that nationalizes an existing EU directive.
