Should imported food have to meet domestic environmental, animal-welfare and labour standards?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative proposed generally requiring imported food to meet domestic standards for environmental protection, animal welfare and fair working conditions, although exceptions could be permitted. The government would also promote regional and seasonal food, reduce environmentally and climate-damaging production and transport and take measures against food waste. Supporters argued that imported and domestically produced food should meet comparable ethical and environmental standards. Opponents warned that the requirements could increase food prices, reduce consumer choice, create extensive bureaucracy and conflict with international trade agreements. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
