To help its members deliver on the EU Code of Conduct on Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices, Euroglaces has developed an Action Plan calling upon the European ice cream industry to take their own corporate actions to implement the EU Code’s aspirational objectives, on a voluntary basis, around “Healthy, balanced, and sustainable diets for all European consumers”, “An optimised circular and resource-efficient food chain in Europe” and “Sustainable sourcing in food supply chains”.

Vanilla is a key flavour used in ice cream and therefore critical to the consumer’s enjoyment of many ice cream types. Euroglaces guidance on the sustainability and security of the vanilla supply chain describes the complexities surrounding sustainable vanilla production and calls for ice cream industry actions to continue making the natural vanilla supply chain more sustainable going forward.

The ice cream industry offers a variety of packaging formats, ranging from single portion packs to multi-portion packs. Euroglaces believes that providing front-of-pack nutrition information per portion-size is a meaningful tool and the right information to empower consumers to make an informed choice and to control their calorie intake in the framework of an overall balanced diet.

The Euroglaces Guidance on the Origin Indication of the Primary Ingredient in Edible Ices provides a common understanding of the ‘primary ingredient’ definition for the edible ices sector in the context of the Implementing Regulation (EU) N° 2018/775 laying down rules for the application of Article 26(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 concerning the provision of information on the country of origin or place of provenance of the primary ingredient of a food where different to that given for the food.
