In Finland the country of origin of the food must be provided where failure to do so could mislead the consumer as to the true country of origin of the food. The purpose of this is to ensure that the consumer does not assume that the food is of Finnish origin when it is not. Also, certain specific legislation requires providing the country of origin of certain foods, such as honey, vegetables, fish, meat and olive oil. We have national regulations requiring the indication of the country of origin of meat used as an ingredient in foods, the country of origin of milk and the country of origin of milk used as an ingredient in dairy products in prepacked foods made in Finland. Furthermore, if the country of origin of the food is indicated and is different from the country of origin of the primary ingredient, the country of origin of the primary ingredient must be made clear to the consumer. For example, the use of a flag is considered as an indication of the country of origin of the food.
