Asked by Andrew RosindellReform UKDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 17 September 2024UIN 4521

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to publish the responses to his Department’s consultation entitled Fairer food labelling, which closed on 7 May 2024; and whether he plans to bring forward legislation introducing mandatory Method of Production labelling.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

A public consultation on fairer food labelling was undertaken between March and May 2024 by the previous Government. This sought views on proposals to improve and extend current mandatory method of production labelling. We are now carefully considering all responses before deciding on next steps and will publish a response to this consultation in due course.
