The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of conducting a review into the food labelling system.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

Defra is in the process of conducting a Post Implementation Review of the Food Information Regulations 2014 and the Country of Origin of Certain Meats Regulations 2015 to assess their success against their origin policy objectives.

Furthermore, we plan to publish a summary of responses to a recent public consultation on fairer food labelling.
