Publishers Abstract In prior case law the Court had found consumers to be adequately protected if they had the possibility to gather the relevant information from the list of ingredients. In Teekanne , the Court stipulated that such information on the ingredients list is not able to "correct" a "consumer’s erroneous or misleading impression" created by the "overall labelling" taken as a whole. The ruling is potentially the first case in a series of judgments that understands the "average consumer" in a less normative way, and is open to arguments about the real-world vulnerability levels of consumers. |
