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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether food labelling in respect of sugar and fat content applies to all packaged foods and snacks available in retail outlets.

Information on nutrition is mandatory for most pre-packaged foods. Exemptions to this are listed in Annex V of the Regulation on the provision of food information to consumers, EU 1169/2011. Exemptions include unprocessed single ingredient products; food presented in very small packaging; and food (including handcrafted food) supplied by a manufacturer of small quantities of products, either directly to the final consumer or to local retail establishments directly supplying the final consumer.
