EU - Meat used as an ingredient in processed foods, such as lasagne, should be labelled by country of origin as is already the case for bovine fresh meat, said Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee MEPs.
The MEP's 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. The resolution, passed by 48 votes to 15 with four abstentions, urges the Commission to follow up its 2013 report with legislative proposals to make it mandatory to state the country of origin of meat used in processed foods, in order to ensure more transparency throughout the food chain and better inform European consumers.
欧盟——肉作为原料的加工食品，如意大利千层面,应以原产国为标签，这在鲜肉牛中已为惯例，环境、公共卫生和食品安全委员会的议员说。
议员呼吁欧洲委员会提出立法建议,以重建消费者在马肉丑闻案件和其他食物欺诈事件后的信心。欧洲委员会曾在在2013年末在这个问题上发表了一份报告。此项决议以48票对15票通过，4票弃权，决议敦促欧盟委员会用立法提案跟进其2013年的报告，在肉类加工食品中强制性地使用带原产地国家的标签，以确保整个食物链更高的透明度和更好地告知欧洲消费者。
