Food safety MEPs call for country of origin labelling of meat in processed foods

21 January 2015

They call on the European Commission, which published a report on the issue in late 2013, to come up with legislative proposals in order to rebuild consumer confidence in the wake of the horsemeat scandal and other food fraud cases.
