Who decides what you eat: new report explores what's secretly influencing consumer diets. The way foods are presented and choices framed needs to change to make sustainable healthy diets easy.

In light of the findings to be released today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that changes to our diets can substantially slash greenhouse gas emissions, a coalition of EU-wide organisations is calling for better ‘food environments’ in the EU.

Misleading ‘carbon neutral’ claims are rife in the food sector and confuse consumers, as shown in a snapshot of examples published today by consumer groups from ten countries. BEUC is calling on the EU to ban the use of carbon neutral claims for all products including food and drink, while both the European Commission and Parliament are due to tackle greenwashing in the coming weeks.
