HC Deb 15 February 1983 vol 37 c79W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps his Department takes to ensure that new food products and additives conform to European and British food standards; and whether his Department seeks out newly available foods to make such checks.

Mrs. Fenner

All foods must comply with the general provisions of the Food and Drugs Acts and with the more detailed regulations made under them to control compositional standards and the use of additives. Enforcement is the responsibility of local authorities.
