We need to have clear labelling to ensure we all know where our food comes from and how it has been produced. Join CLEAR and support the campaign.

[Lea Valley Growers 🇬🇧 @LeaValleyGrower]

We produce crops to the highest standards in the world, but have to compete with imported foods containing illegal chemicals and the government does trade deals with those countries.

We really need to all pull together to make sure we have honest and transparent food labelling that starts from the farm up and not the top down. We are in such danger of eco labels pushing us to more industrial farming. Join https://t.co/L4NkBoD59S to show your support.

It's no coincidence that industrial livestock and ultra-processing are simultaneously becoming more prevalent in the UK. Both are symptomatic of the corporate capture of our food system. They are two sides of the same coin.

This is far more important for the future of farming in this country than anyone might realise. If we don`t have data that supports the farming we want we will lose out @PastureForLife @SoilAssociation @ofgorganic @LEAF_Farming @AHDB_Dairy @FFC_Commission @RealFarmED @OrgResCent

Eco labels are fast coming down the line and they could lead to a greater lack of transparency and not more. We need farmers and consumers to get behind us to ensure we have proper farm led data in our food labels. https://t.co/Xi14YHewNk @SusFoodTrust @ciwf @UKSustain @WWF

We are very concerned that proposals on eco labelling will serve the interests of large food manufacturers more than the environment, wildlife, biodiversity and our own health. We have written to the Secretary of State https://t.co/n9v4kAzuxQ with @SusFoodTrust @ciwf @UKSustain

[C.L.E.A.R. Food Label UK @CLEARCampaign1]

This week we saw @Channel4 and @AdeAdepitan do some seriously inaccurate reporting on the UK beef industry. Food labelling must make it clear that farming can take so many forms, some is bad but much is very good. https://t.co/aXaAW0QYCW

Love avocados? Listen to our podcast https://t.co/hOJVDDBy7D with @hmeldridge on her new book "The Avocado debate". Great insight to our complicated food systems.

Inspired by our friends @realbreadcampaign we'd like to bring your attention to #sourfaux
They do this becasue they can, we need stronger legislation to stop this.

We're told that whole grains are good for us but there's no legal definition of what proportion of whole grains a product contains for it to make a claim.

Check out our podcast series for a deep dive into issues such as this.

Until we have legislation for a more robust system consumers will be deliberately mislead by the industry.

'Reduced sugar' foods can still be incredibly high in sugar. We think this is misleading.

We have to crack collecting data from farms right through the processing system for real transparency and choice on all foods @CLEARCampaign1 is working to ensure mandatory method of production labelling on all foods at all points of sale.
