In July 2025, EAPF released a following position paper together with partners against the planned restrictions for plant-based foods an defending fair labelling for plant-based alternatives.
We urge policymakers to:
- Reject proposals that would ban or restrict the use of familiar denominations for plantbased products.
- Support transparent labelling that informs, rather than confuses or restricts, consumers.
- Promote innovation in the food sector by allowing fair competition and clear communication.
Plant-based alternatives, including both meat and dairy, are a vital part of Europe’s agrifood systems. We stand ready to work with all stakeholders to ensure a competitive, fair, and transparent food system that supports innovation, sustainability, and consumer choice.
