Sign the petition calling on the European Commission to make it mandatory that all food products sold in Europe show country of origin

Why is this important?

Whether you're interested in food safety, supporting Irish farmers and food producers, or reducing food miles, it's important to know where your food comes from.[1]

Knowing where our food comes from is a basic right, but right now there isn’t a mandatory requirement to put country of origin on all food bought in the EU.[2]

Uplift members are working with people powered partners across Europe to change the rules. If one million people sign a European Citizens’ Initiative it would legally compel the EU to listen to our demand for origin of food labelling within the EU.[3]

Thanks for signing! Your signature has been added.

What am I signing when I add my name to this European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI)?

When we collect one million signatures across Europe [8,250 in Ireland] the European Commission will be legally obliged to respond to our demands.

Why do I need to give so much information?

This is not a normal Uplift petition! A European Citizen Initiative petition is the official way for EU citizens to call on the European Commission to act. Because your signature carries more weight, they ask for a few more details to verify your identity. Uplift does not have access to any of your details on the official ECI form.
