(Updated: 2 June 2020) The EU food and drink industry is working around the clock to ensure that everybody can continue to access safe, quality and affordable food and drink products during the Covid-19 pandemic.

FoodDrinkEurope has published its Annual Report 2019, presenting the highlights of its work over the past year.

FoodDrinkEurope has launched its policy priorities for the EU Institutions, in view of the upcoming EU elections later this year.

Food and drink packaging plays a vital role in protecting and preserving products for consumers. However, some packaging, particularly plastics, ends up in nature and contributes to the growing problem of litter. The Industry is therefore setting itself a roadmap of actions to support the societal transition towards a circular economy; these actions include improving packaging design, actively supporting collection, sorting and recycling, and raising awareness.
