"Very often food products are presented as 'natural'or 'green' without any evidence backing those claims. 'Plant-based' is also used as an obvious marketing tool. Our recent consumer survey clearly shows that Europeans are tired of false claims and greenwashing"

"SAFE Food Advocacy Europe stands for the Green Claims Directive despite rumours about its withdrawal and delays in the timeline for its final approval. This legislation is designed to protect both the environment and consumers who have the right to make their choices based on truthful reliable information especially regarding food. It is a key element to fight greenwashing and create a common European standard for green claims. Delaying this directive is at odds with the interests of European consumers. We say: if you claim it you prove it. Join our campaign http://bit.ly/4lcdmqv"
