It has been roundly criticized as biased, discriminatory and anti-Semitic.<\/p>\n<p>The labelling case has its origins in questions regarding the interpretation of <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/ALL\/?uri=CELEX%3A32011R1169\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EU Regulation 1169\/2011<\/a>, dated October 25, 2011, concerning consumer information on food products.
