A Europe-wide campaign is calling on citizens and organisations to defend transparency in food labelling. The Blacked-Out Ingredients campaign warns that EU labels may soon no longer indicate whether food contains altered DNA, and invites people across Europe to take action, contact MEPs, and share the campaign materials widely.
Ahead of the European Parliament vote expected on 18 May, the campaign raises concern that, if the proposed law passes, food labels would no longer inform consumers whether food contains genetically modified organisms. Its core message is straightforward: consumers should continue to have access to clear information about what is in their food.
The campaign was initiated by organisations from the organic and environmental sector, including Demeter, Friends of the Earth Europe, and Bioland, and is open to all organisations and individuals who consider this issue important for consumers. Its aims are to encourage the European Parliament to maintain consumer labelling also for new GMOs, and to inform as many people as possible about the proposed changes and their implications.
The campaign website offers practical ways to get involved. It is available in multiple languages and includes WhatsApp and Telegram channels, and a downloads section with visuals and videos for sharing.
