Products with at least 25% greenhouse gas savings will be marked in each food category. The program is a joint initiative by the Federation of Swedish Farmers, two food labelling organizations and various dairy and meat co-ops. It will also create a monitoring system to measure and follow-up the achievements. Criteria for plant production, dairy and fish products were launched June 26 with other product categories to follow in October.
