HC Deb 17 November 1972 vol 846 c229W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if packages of demerara and soft brown sugar will be required, under the new labelling of food regulations, to indicate any artificial colouring they may contain.

Mrs. Fenner

From 1st January, 1973, under the Labelling of Food Regulations, 1970, most prepacked foods will, if they contain a permitted colouring matter, have to indicate the fact on the label in the manner prescribed. There are similar provisions in the Labelling of Food Order, 1953, which is to be revoked on 1st January by the 1970 regulations.
