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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the answer of 16 July 2026, to Question 15820, on Jam: Labelling, what assessment has been made of whether dynamic alignment under the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement will mean certain (a) vitamins or (b) minerals on sale in Great Britain to the general public will be banned or restricted as a consequence of the annex of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1798, Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 and other EU law.

As part of the UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement currently being negotiated, this Government is making a sovereign choice in the national interest to align in some areas where it makes sense to do so. This Government has published a list of EU legislation it currently expects to be in scope, including Regulation 1925/2006 on the addition of vitamins, minerals and certain other substances to foods. The final scope of the agreement, and its precise implications for particular products, remain subject to the outcome of ongoing negotiations with the EU. This Government will continue to work with affected industry to prepare for implementation.
