An application by the industry body claimed changing the protected name wording on the front of packaging from \u201cScottish farmed salmon\u201d to \u201cScottish salmon\u201d made sense because wild salmon was no longer sold in supermarkets, which consumers were aware of.<\/p>\n<p>But charities and chefs have criticised the decision by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), taken last month, to allow Salmon Scotland\u2019s application, saying it facilitates greenwashing and will mislead consumers. The change relates to the labelling of salmon from Scotland under the protected geographical indication (PGI) scheme, which was brought in to replace a similar EU scheme. Other protected Scottish products include Scotch whisky, lamb and beef. The fact the salmon is farm-raised will still have to be displayed on the back of packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Intensive salmon farming can also threaten wild salmon populations if escaped farmed fish breed with wild fish. More than 200 chefs and restaurants, as well as 60 community groups, charities and NGOs, are supporting WildFish\u2019s \u201coff the table\u201d campaign, which asks chefs and restaurants to take farmed salmon off their menus. Animal Equality UK and Wildfish claim that, as well as misleading consumers, the change to the PGI breaches assimilated EU Regulation 1151\/2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/may\/07\/scottish-salmon-industry-challenged-move-drop-farmed-labels\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-512\/\">Scottish salmon industry challenged over move to drop \u2018farmed\u2019 from labels<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1325,3229,1162],"class_list":["post-130234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-greenwashing","tag-salmon","tag-scotland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130234\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
