The Council of the European Union, on 3 July 2026, issued a corrigendum to the Dutch language version of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on food information to consumers, correcting an obvious error in Article 25(2). The correction replaces the phrase 'uiterste consumptiedatum' (use-by date) with 'consumptietermijn' (consumption period) in the Dutch text published in the Official Journal on 22 November 2021. The corrigendum was transmitted to the European Parliament under Procedure 2(b) for obvious error corrections. Member States have eight days from 3 July 2026 to submit observations to the Council's Legal Service. The change affects only the Dutch version and does not alter the substance of the regulation, which sets out requirements for the labelling of food products, including date marking. The correction ensures terminological consistency in the Dutch text, aligning it with the intended meaning of the provision.
