Europêche has welcomed a new European Parliament study addressing labelling concerns around plant-based seafood substitutes

The report, titled ‘Labelling of plant-based seafood substitutes – Scope and issues at stake’, outlines growing issues related to misleading marketing and product labelling and calls for legal updates to protect consumer transparency.

Nearly half of products analysed use invented names that imply a seafood link, while only 13% provide clear enough information for consumers to understand what they are buying.
