The European Commission is conducting a study to assess the impact of potential future legislation on date marking and food waste prevention in the EU. The study will review consumer behavior and perceptions, provide evidence for new rules or guidelines, and gather feedback from stakeholders through public and targeted consultations. Specific topics to be researched include consumer choices linked to date marking, nutrition labeling schemes, nutrient profiling approaches, food safety and quality information, and the indication of origin on food labels. An implementation plan may be developed to help Member States successfully transpose and implement any new legislation.
