HC Deb 09 December 1996 vol 287 c62W
Sir Cranley Onslow

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress is being made towards Euro-labelling standards for peanut products. [6631]

Mrs. Browning

The EC Scientific Committee for Food has reported on the subject of food intolerance. The Standing Committee for Foodstuffs and the Codex Committee on Food Labelling discussed the problem at meetings earlier this year. We expect a Commission working group to consider the outcome and any necessary labelling rules.
