Belgian Chocolate Legislation

EU Legislation Belgian Chocolate

Impact of the new EU origin labelling regulation

To help our customers thrive, we at Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate are constantly monitoring the changes in market conditions. This includes our team of regulatory experts who closely monitor all modifications in EU legislation.

The need for transparency

The EU has recently introduced a new legislation to clarify food products’ origin labelling claims.

We support any legislation that goes in the direction of greater transparency, a cause that we know end-consumers care significantly about.

Understanding the impact of the new EU regulation

Identifying the implications of this complex legislation and understanding how to best implement it, might be challenging for some of our customers. At Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate, we care about bringing you peace of mind, so we have carefully studied this new EU legislation for you.

We have translated what it means when it comes to a Belgian chocolate claim and tested different scenarios among a panel of consumers.

Turning a negative into a positive

Discover the options available to you and learn how to harness consumers’ preference for transparency and storytelling of origin. We will help you turn this legislation change into an opportunity to strengthen and grow your brand engagement.

As always, we are here to support you and guide you. So please feel free to reach out to your usual Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate contact for more information.
