The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says consumers will be better informed and businesses better able to export if new laws are approved this month.
Minister Richard Ronan will ask Tynwald to approve EU legislation governing food labelling under the EU Food Information Order this month.

Hotels, restaurants and cafes would all need to display the information on menus.
