Tridge summary

On April 19, 2021, supermarkets in Aurillac were visited by delegations from the FDSEA and Young Farmers to identify and notify consumers of excessively low dairy product prices, which do not comply with the Égalim law. The dairy section of the FDSEA found that many products have prices below the minimum needed to cover production costs and farmer remuneration. Supermarkets and processors are being called out for these low prices, and a call to choose another product is being made through stickers labeling products that do not meet fair remuneration criteria. The delegations are also checking the origin of raw materials in dairy products, as the Council of State has agreed with Lactalis that it is not required to label the origin of the milk used in its products.
