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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential effect on the labelling of sugar in food products of the UK exiting the EU.

The UK will continue to have all of the rights, obligations and benefits that membership brings, up until the point we leave the EU. The Food Information Regulations 2014 regulate food labelling. These Regulations implement the EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation 1169/2011. The Government is currently considering future arrangements for existing EU legislation in preparation for the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972.
