VM: the directive for beers has changed

According to change in the Hungarian Food Codex, products will not longer be marketed under the “beer” name that are added any material after aging and filtering, thus their character, taste, smell and color change and an essentially new product is created – the Ministry of Rural Development told at the government’s news site.

According to the information of kormany.hu, the names of these products will include the word “beer” if the manufacturers make it clear to consumers, that beer is only one component of the product. Thus, for example, they can sell and beer mixture, mixed beer or beverage contaning beer.  (MTI)
