About this episode
The European Union wants to introduce one system for scoring the sustainability of food products. The new requirements are likely to be introduced in 2024.
Currently there are a number of different labels and symbols used on food packaging across Europe, and there is concern that this can lead to confusion for consumers and can be open to exploitation.
Russell Padmore travels across Ireland, hearing about the pros and cons from farmers, food producers, restaurants and consumers.
