The community of EU agrifood nerds is growing on Bluesky! We are just waiting for more policymakers to join 🤓.
Time to migrate @EU_Health @EUAgri @CHansenEU @OliverVarhelyi?

Yesterday, as an early Christmas 🎁, @EU_Health adopted the ban of Bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact materials (e.g. coating on metal cans, reusable plastic drink bottles, water distribution coolers & other kitchenware). A win for consumers!

Today, @OliverVarhelyi was in @Europarl_EN to debate about #AnimalWelfare initiatives for the new mandate. While he did stress the need to better enforce existing laws, he was less convincing on his commitment to #DeliverTheProposal to #EndTheCageAge… Read his statements 👀 👇
👀 An interesting development to follow ….

😱Always interested in food companies’ marketing at Xmas but #CocaCola wins the award for the creepiest this year.

Some mixed news from 🇪🇸 on child obesity. While the situation has improved on average, prevalence of overweight and obesity remains unchanged in kids from lower-income families. Shows the need for policies to improve access to healthy food for all, regardless of income level.

“European consumers expect their food to have the same standards of production regardless of where it comes from”, @beuc’s @arcapde commented on #Mercosur. Without import requirements in EU law to ensure everybody plays by the same rules, the deal shouldn’t be ratified.
#EUTrade
The EU-Mercosur deal fails both consumers and farmers on sustainability goals. It's time to apply the same rules to imported food as what is produced in the EU. Hear from @Arcapde and @ElliTsiforou (@COPACOGECA) about our shared concerns ⤵️ youtu.be/29OCvjroe_s

“The big problem in Europe is this incapacity to not give way to lobbies and put public health first”, prof. @HercbergS told @POLITICOEurope.
Commissioners @CHansenEU and @OliverVarhelyi can still prove him wrong when presenting the upcoming Vision for Agriculture and Food …🤓

The EU's agri-food sector is a global export powerhouse. 🌎
Our products and culinary heritage are renowned all over the world, and rightly so.
I am pleased to announce that we’ll keep promoting our high-quality products next year with €132 million.

A quick check of #EUAgriPromo hashtag gives an overview of what’s considered as “sustainable” and “more plant-based” 🤔
