Why moving essential product information online is a no-go

Information about products and their characteristics constitutes an essential safeguard of consumer health, rights, and interests. There is growing interest, especially among some industry groups, in moving this information online. 

BEUC's recommendations:

• Do not fall for the buzz about digital information tools; digital labelling is flawed concept that threatens to undermine, rather than enable, informed consumer choice.
• Keep information essential consumer health, rights, and interests on product labels.
