French restaurants will have to specify the origin of their meat

According to the Interempresas publication, French restaurants, like school and professional canteens, will have to specify the origin of all meats as of March 1 by virtue of a government decree.

The France Info radio station revealed the preparation of this decree, which will extend the obligation that already existed for veal since 2002 to pork, poultry or lamb. Specifically, you will have to specify the country in which the animal was raised and the country in which it was slaughtered, as well as whether it is fresh, chilled or frozen meat.
