New fish labelling rules welcomed by IFA

NEW EU regulations on the labelling of fish and seafoods on the Irish market will help consumers and boost the economy.

That's the view of the IFA Fish Farming Section (IFFS), welcoming the new requirements, which will be policed by enforcement officers working under contract to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).

Irish retailers are now legally obliged to include specific information on the labelling of fish and seafood products.
