What exactly does "origin Germany" mean? And what does "EU/non-EU agriculture" mean? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Good morning @oscherer Made in Germany. The indication "EU/non-EU agriculture" is mainly found on organic food, as an indication of origin is mandatory here. It is regulated by law and the following categories are distinguished: "EU agriculture" if the agricultural raw materials were produced in the EU; "non-EU agriculture" if the agricultural raw materials were produced in third countries; "EU/non-EU agriculture" if the agricultural raw materials were produced partly in the Community and partly in a third country.
If all the agricultural raw materials of which the product is composed have been produced in the same country, the indication "EU" or "non-EU" may be replaced or supplemented by the indication of that country. In principle, all ingredients must be taken into account in the indication. The only exceptions are ingredients that are present in very small quantities (no more than two percent in total). Best regards Frederica
Hello oscherer, thank you very much for your post. The reference means that the production of this product took place in Germany. For the individual ingredients, we mark with * whether the respective ingredient comes from EU or non-EU agriculture. The origin of the ingredients changes depending on the availability of the raw materials. This is why we indicate it in this way and not the respective country. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
@M-Infoline, you write: "For the individual ingredients, we mark with * whether the respective ingredient comes from EU or non-EU agriculture.". On the packaging and at the bottom of the ingredients it says: * from organic farming ? greetings Frederica, who replied days ago ?
Hello Frederica, thank you for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for this misinformation. We have clarified this again with our breakfast department. According to the EU Organic Regulation, the packaging must state whether the product is made from raw grains grown inside or outside the EU. The indication "EU" or "non-EU" can be replaced by the country name. If the origin is stated as "Deutschlang", this means that the ingredients come from Germany. The indication "EU/non-EU agriculture" means that the ingredients come from both EU and non-EU countries. The indication "Made in", on the other hand, does not refer to the origin of the ingredients but to the country of production. The Alnatura fruit muesli is as follows: the apple pieces, wheat and oat flakes come from various EU countries (for example Germany, Austria or the Czech Republic), depending on availability. The remaining fruit (raisins, grapes, figs and apricots) usually come from Turkey. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Good morning @M-Infoline, thank you for your answer, which contains everything I've already put in the keyboard. I've been asking myself for a long time: What do you actually see? Only the question of the questioner or also the answer? It's rare for participants other than you and me to answer product questions. Maybe @Philipp_Migros is reading along, then he can enlighten me. Best regards Frederica
