To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the oral answer to the hon. Member for Bristol East of 12 January 2023, Official Report, column 702, what her Department's policy is on the labelling and marketing of plant-based food and drink products.

The labelling of all food and drink products is governed by the law on the provision of food information to consumers as well as various agricultural marketing standards that apply to the production and marketing of particular primary commodities. These require that food information is accurate and that consumers are not misled ensuring that consumers are able to make fully informed decisions about the food that they consume.
