On March 9, 2023, The European Consumer Organization (BEUC) reported that in response to the current phenomenon of food products claiming to be carbon-neutral, such as claiming that pork products and bananas are carbon-neutral pork products, carbon-neutral bananas, and in view of the statement on carbon-neutral lacks scientific evidence, confuses and misleads consumers, the BEUC called on the EU to completely ban all food and beverages from using carbon neutral statements and other "greenwashing" behaviors. According to reports, the European Commission will issue relevant "greenwashing" legislative proposals in the near future to control "greenwashing" statements.
