HC Deb 03 March 1947 vol 434 c6W
65. Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Minister of Food whether in view of the concern of many people in the country, he will state, in which foodstuffs offered for consumption to the British public wood in any form, namely, cellulose, is contained.

Dr. Summerskill

No foodstuff offered for consumption to the British public contains wood. Cellulose is a natural component of plant tissues and it is there fore present in small amounts in all foods or vegetable origin.
