Transitionalperiod dairy with 3 stars until 24-2-2027
With the introduction of the criteria for BLL dairy with 3 stars, it has been established that organic dairy no longer automatically qualifies for 3 stars of the Better Life label.
Since 24 February 2022, fresh organic dairy and cheese carrying the 3 stars of the Better Life label must originate from Better Life label 3-star certified dairy farms.
For multiscope products, a temporary transition period was initially set until 24 February 2026. A survey among companies involved has shown that more time is needed to properly set up the supply chain.
For this reason, it has been decided to extend the transition period to 24 February 2027.
After this date, organic dairy in multiscope products must also be replaced with Better Life certified dairy. This includes, for example, the use of cheese or other dairy in products such as cordon bleu, grilled sausage with cheese, or lasagna.
