The UK’s Food Standards Agency is to draft best practice advice on vegetarian and vegan labelling that will include advisory definitions of these terms.
The draft advice will be sent out for a full public consultation in the summer of 2005.
“The Agency has been aware of consumer concerns relating to food being labelled as suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and held a stakeholder meeting to discuss vegetarian and vegan labelling on 12 October 2004,” the FSA said.
