Assessment of sustainability labels for food

This dataset includes a comprehensive assessment of sustainability labels for food identified in new products in the EU market for 2021. The assessment addresses general aspects, how environmental and social aspects are addressed, with a focus on life cycle assessment-based labels and the scoring methods in scoring labels. This is a subset of the mapping dataset within this collection and focuses on labels (a) with typology positive endorsement and graded/scoring labels, (b) implemented or at a pilot phase, (c) not referring exclusively to company aspects or to the product’s packaging composition and/or product’s packaging dismantling options (e.g. possibility to recycle or to compost), and (d) not addressing exclusively animal welfare aspects.
