El 20 de mayo de 2020, la Comisión Europea adoptó la Comunicación titulada «Estrategia “De la Granja a la Mesa” para un sistema alimentario justo, saludable y respetuoso con el medio ambiente». Tras un animado debate parlamentario en el que los diputados expresaron sus diferentes puntos de vista sobre cómo crear sistemas alimentarios sostenibles, está previsto que se someta a votación un informe de propia iniciativa de la comisión conjunta sobre la Estrategia en el Pleno del período parcial de sesiones ...

La pesca y la acuicultura se encuentran entre los sectores alimentarios más afectados por la COVID-19. En un principio, la mayoría de los países intentaron garantizar la salud y la seguridad mediante el cierre de puertos, poniendo en cuarentena buques extranjeros, cerrando lonjas al aire libre, desinfectando puertos y barcos pesqueros, proporcionando mascarillas a los trabajadores y sensibilizando sobre medidas sanitarias.

Fish labelling for consumers

De un vistazo 12-10-2017

Since the end of 2014, consumers in the European Union (EU) have had access to better information when buying fishery and aquaculture products. Mandatory labels or markings for retail sale of seafood (including some types of processed seafood) must, in particular, include information on both the commercial and the scientific names of the species, whether it has been fished or farmed, the catch area or country of production, and the fishing gear used.

La organización común de mercados (OCM) de los productos de la pesca y la acuicultura fue el primer componente de la política pesquera común (PPC). Su ámbito de actuación ante la crisis que afecta actualmente al sector de la pesca se ha considerado limitado, dada la naturaleza de sus mecanismos de intervención y la escasa financiación que se les asigna, lo que ha dado lugar a una reforma integral que ha sentado unas nuevas bases para la OCM y para toda la PPC de 2014 en adelante. La revisión de la ...

'Trans fats' or 'trans fatty acids' (TFAs) are a type of unsaturated fatty acids that have been widely used in the food industry since the 1950s. There is now broad scientific consensus that high consumption of trans fats significantly increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), and may also be associated with increased risk of other cardiovascular diseases, obesity and type 2 diabetes. The main dietary source of industrial trans fats are partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. The World ...

The European Commission has launched an investigation into Italian legislation prohibiting the use of condensed and powdered milk in dairy products, demanding appropriate labelling instead. Since milk powder is commonly used in cheese production elsewhere in the European Union (EU), the Italian law may contradict EU legislation on free movement of goods. Member States are allowed to impose additional food labelling requirements, on condition they are justified.

The purpose of this study is to examine and review biorefinery technology options that exist to convert biomass in the form of agricultural crop and forestry residues and waste from the whole food chain into biomaterials and bioenergy. It assesses the technological options, including the sustainability of the processes involved. The study forms part of a bigger project commissioned by the European Parliament’s STOA (‘Science and Technology Options Assessment’) office under the heading of ‘Technology ...

There is a wide variety of readily available food products on the market in the developed world today, which can provide necessary nutrition. The issue that has so far not been much focused upon and on which this study has focused is naturally-occurring substances in food, which may compromise health through, for example, toxic effects, allergenic effects or inhibition of nutrient assimilation. In particular, new knowledge has been accumulated with regard to naturally-occurring and health-compromising ...
