From 2022, Italian products will be required to label the origin of their main ingredient, as part of new decrees aiming to prevent the misrepresentation of products as 'Made in Italy' and to provide transparency for consumers. However, these regulations do not yet extend to canned legumes, preserved fruits, wheat used in baked goods, or meat or fish sold in restaurants. This move addresses the demands of the 80% of Italians who check food labels and responds to concerns about food safety, with over 1.1 million signatures supporting a European initiative to improve food transparency.
