The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he will publish the outcomes of his Departments consultation entitled Fairer Food Labelling, which closed in May 2024.

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. The consultation also sought views on whether new rules should be introduced on country-of-origin labelling. We are now carefully considering all responses before deciding on next steps and will respond to this consultation in due course.
