Hi,
If one is in an European Union country, with strict penalties in tact for any violation, may one rely on the ingredients that a cafe tells them is in a bakery good? (For example, a croissant or pastry). In that situation, is anything allowed?
Yes. You can rely on the allergen type claims just like in the USA.
so, If they advertise “vegetarian” it’s ok, because they risk serious lawsuits.
Is this true in Canada as well?
Yes
In Israel too?
Yes
