Whether it’s combining centuries of traditional production methods with the highest standards of health and safety, unbeatable quality from farm to fork or a sustainability strategy that protects people and the natural world – EU food and drinks are
Authenticity
In the EU, traditions in the production of food and beverages have been passed down through generations of farmers and manufacturers. The result is an incredible variety of unique products and tastes. They all reflect the diversity of soils, climates and cultures in Europe.
Safety
Applying the highest possible level of safety is a key component of food and beverages coming from the EU. The EU’s approach is rooted in the concept of traceability, accompanied by strict health and safety rules all along the production and supply chain – from monitoring the quality of crops to food hygiene, disease prevention and secure packaging.
Sustainability
Caring for a product from the moment it is produced until it reaches our tables is the quintessence of the EU’s farming. This approach covers the entire food supply chain and sets rules to respect animal welfare, reduce food waste, limit the use of pesticides, promote carbon farming and many other initiatives to guarantee the sustainability of EU food and beverages.
Quality
Recognising quality is made easy with products from the EU. Quality labels indicate if a product is organic, if it has been made using specific processes, or if it comes from a specific geographical region.
