HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 c94W
81. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that the regulations regarding the nutritive standard and labelling requirements of meat substitute foods are adequate for the protection of consumers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Meat substitutes can be of high nutritive value, but they can be used only when the labelling of the product informs the consumer of their inclusion. All manufactured meat products must contain the minimum amount of meat laid down in the compositional standards.
