An EU survey on the logos designating food quality has revealed poor knowledge of their significance across the continent, but ignorance was even more pronounced in Malta.
While a third of the Maltese recognise the Fair Trade logo, which confirms that food was sourced from producers in developing countries at a fair price, only one in every 20 recognise the Protected Designation of Origin logo, which confirms that a particular food item derives from a specific region or country in Europe.
A total of 508 Maltese nationals were interviewed for the survey.
