Food: Labelling
(asked on 20th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to support the food industry through better food labelling (1) before, and (2) after, the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
This question was answered on 3rd August 2017
The Government is fully committed to promoting UK food and drink. The UK led calls for mandatory country of origin labelling on fresh meats and has also argued, within the EU, for country of origin labelling on lightly processed foods, such as some dairy products.
We are considering how to build on existing approaches to help consumers better identify high-quality British food as we leave the EU.
