HC Deb 18 July 1996 vol 281 c628W
14. Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to provide consumers with information on the purity of the food they buy. [36418]

Mrs. Browning

It is an offence under the Food Safety Act 1990 to label or advertise food in a way which is likely to mislead as to the nature, substance and quality of the food. Enforcement of these requirements is the responsibility of local authorities.
