Austria: imitation milk – origin of 67 percent of the raw materials is unclear

In Austria an inventory of 153 vegan milk and meat imitations at five different food retailers in the capital Vienna shows that of vegan spreads 77 percent of the origin of the raw materials is unclear and that of imitation milk the origin of 67 percent of the raw materials is unclear. The inventory was carried out by the Young Viennese Farmers and by the rural economy association Verein Wirtschaften am Land. According to both organisations the lack of transparency suggests that many products may come from third countries where standards are generally lower and that transport routes generate huge CO2 emissions.
