 The Federal Minister for Food and Agriculture, Christian Schmidt reacted on the reform of the German Food Code Commission (Deutschen Lebensmittelbuchkommission), “It is my goal that the reality in the supermarket corresponds more with consumer expectations.” 
 
“In a package of mixed vegetables with asparagus, the asparagus in the pack should match the image on the pack. And poultry sausages must also consist mainly of poultry and not pork. The product has to do what it says on the tin.
 
It is my goal that the recommendations of the German Food Code Commission focus stronger on the consumers’ desire for ‘clear and true information’. With this reform we will succeed."
 
Background
On 1 July 2016, the reformed procedures of the German Food Code Commission (DLMBK) went into effect and commission members were newly appointed. They are appointed from 1 July 2016 until 30 June 2021. The German Food Code is a collection of guidelines, in which more than 2,000 food products and their characteristics are described. For example, what defines potato chips, and of what animal a Wiener schnitzel is made.
 
The guidelines of characteristics are created by the German Food Code Commission (DLMBK). And they try to keep the guidelines up-to-date, so that they really reflect the expectations of consumers, manufacturers, retailers and food control authorities.
