Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department will take steps to ensure that all milk labelling clearly states the farming methods used in production of that milk.

Food labelling rules are set at EU level and require that food information must not mislead. There are currently no milk labelling rules or criteria that define the method of farming.

The Commission is due to publish a report into the feasibility of extending mandatory country of origin labelling to milk and milk products.
