A plan for a voluntary, state-controlled eco-label has taken longer than expected, but the ministry in charge of the project says the label will hit supermarket shelves 'within the coming years.'

Despite delays, Denmark's voluntary state-controlled eco-label will be in the shops within the coming years, according to the country's Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries.
