@EUCommission Maybe also do something about the ridiculous amounts of sugar that is *required* for jam to be called jam legally. This requirements sits in stark contrast to sugar taxes. Manufacturers desperately want to make jams with less sugar, and they're not allowed to call it jam.

Make it make sense 🫠

@EUCommission et la transparence sur les nouveaux OGM c'est pour quand ? Marre de l'enfumage.

@EUCommission my friends. When you have the opportunity. Just buy local. You’ll pay more 20cents but you know where it comes from, you are helping your neighbor and it’s usually way better

@EUCommission Please hire an artist. There are thousands and thousands of creatives looking for jobs. Surely the EC and EU can promote real artisan work and not hand it over to AI slop?

Art, whether it is of significance of our cultural identity and history or just part of our daily lives (like labels, logos signage) represents our strengths and values. Please support it.

@EUCommission I like the introduction of these rules...hopefully these rules will be executed and audited. Otherwise the whole idea will turn into a dead law...

@EUCommission That honey though...

@EUCommission "Improved rules on origin" we need that for all products, not just honey. Not just place of manufacturing, but also were the materials come from.

@EUCommission
Honey: still would like to know if even "just" 1% of the ingredients - and which one - comes from a dodgy origin. Now you don't give us the opportunity to choose between healthy, dodgy and no-go at all.

@EUCommission

Honey Europe 🐝

@EUCommission oh, the tasteless irony of an AI label missing entirely and the Alt label being wrong... what a toot!

@EUCommission then please defend and implemented strict rules for GMO labeling! So that consumers can make a choice. With the new GMO legislation you kill of transparency and thus choice!
And while you are at it, ban all patents on living things!

@EUCommission Enjoyable (sarcasm) seeing AI generated image with bee in it as the data-centers are causing environmental damage killing these animals.

At least use the AI labeling you're pushing.

As for the post content, I like more transparency, however, what does "Higher fruit content in jams" has to do with transparency?
That gets me a bit confused there.

@EUCommission Rare case of the social media post being significantly worse than the content of the announcement. Ugly lazy ai slop image with wrong alt text. Wow.

@EUCommission

OMG honey must be the worst transgressor in the country of origin labeling.. the bottles always said "EU and non-EU"

Might as well say "the Earth"

@EUCommission and that generated pictures lable you're pushing? is it in the room with us right now?

@EUCommission

There was an EU citizen initiative about declaring origins on all food, but it failed to get enough signatures, unfortunately.

@EUCommission Why did you use #aiSLOP for your image though

@EUCommission
That is good, thank you.
But please, no more AI generated pictures any more.

@EUCommission

As the Brits are out. Could we please call „Konfitüre“, Marmelade again?

@EUCommission

The transparency for honey:
"member states can decide that the obligation to indicate the percentage on the label only applies to the four largest shares, provided these represent more than 50% of the weight of the blend"

For sure that's what's coming. Specially in Germany...

Why not:
"the countries of origin will be indicated on the label in descending order, based on weight; the label will also include the percentage that each country represents in the blend, thereby increasing transparency for consumers"

@EUCommission

Thanks for being here and telling us. Some good initiatives.

I would share this tooth if it was without an AI Image.

@EUCommission nice, no more vague statements on mix of European and non-European honey on those watered down honey bottles. Thanks EU!

@EUCommission Great to see this push for transparency extend to everyday food products. The same principle is reshaping the nutraceutical and supplement space too — EFSA's health claims framework has already rejected the majority of botanical health claims for lack of clinical substantiation, and the direction is unmistakable: claims need evidence, not just plausibility. #Transparency #EUCommission #Nutraceuticals #FoodLabelling #ClinicalEvidence

@EUCommission y'all are the EU. I'm sure you can spend a little money on an artist coming up with some non-AI images, right?
