Passage 2

I am here to present some ideas on behalf of the European Consumers’ Organisation. Food quality and safety are issues of great importance to consumers, and consumers are becomingly increasingly concerned about how the food they consume is produced. Quality, however, takes many forms, and individual consumer requirements vary considerably. Consumers all have different needs, lifestyles, budgets and tastes. //
    When talking about quality one must consider the factors that are actually used to judge quality. appearance,  sensual perception,  nutritional value,  origin,  ethical aspects and environmental considerations. Consumers want to know more about how their food is produced and particularly about such subjects as production methods, environmental and social factors, and the factual basis for any claims made for the food.
