Article 7 - Information particulars at the retail stage

Article 7
Information particulars at the retail stage

1.At retail stage, the information particulars required by this Regulation shall be legible and conspicuous. Products may be presented for sale provided the retailer displays prominently, adjacent to and legibly, the information particulars relating to country of origin and, where appropriate, class, size and variety or commercial type in such a way as not to mislead the consumer.

Additional terms which suggest better/superior quality may not be included. In particular, the label may not include any descriptor of quality except the information specified in the marking requirement as set out in Annex I.

When the country of the packer and/or the dispatcher is indicated or when the variety indicated evokes a location, the characters to indicate the country of origin shall be larger and more visible than those used for the country of the packer and/or the dispatcher and the variety if different.

2.For products which are prepacked within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council 7, in addition to all the information required by the marketing standards, the net weight shall be indicated in accordance with the rules set out in that Regulation.
