Founded in 1982, FoodDrinkEurope is a Food industry confederation in the European Union. It was formed by 26 national food-related federations, including 3 observers, 25 EU sector associations, and 19 major food and drink companies, all grouped in a Liaison Committee.[3]

History

[edit]

The organization was founded in 1982 as Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the EU (French: Confédération des Industries Agro-Alimentaires de l'UE; CIAA).

In 2002, it lobbied to guarantee that new countries joining the EU first subscribe to most of EU's food policies before being accepted into the union.[4]

The CIAA was renamed as FoodDrinkEurope in June 2011.[5] In 2014, it launched a website to explain how the new Reference Intake system works.[6]

In 2021, the advocacy group Foodwatch criticized FoodDrinkEurope for lobbying against the Nutri-Score (colour-coded nutrition label at European level) at the EU level for the past decade.[7]

Activities

[edit]

FoodDrinkEurope develops the Guideline Daily Amounts pictograms displaying nutritional values on food packaging.

It lobbies the EU on agri-food economic plans[8] and works on standardizing industry-funded research.[9]

Policies

[edit]

The organisation supports the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, arguing that it will reduce regulatory barriers, increase employment and encourage industry investment.[10][11]
