§ Mrs. Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether there is any machinery for pre-sales testing of foods claiming to be health foods.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergExcept in the case of foods which are licensable as medical products, there is no statutory provision for such testing. However, to sell for human consumption any food which is injurious to health or otherwise unfit is an offence under the Food and Drugs Act, for which the local authorities have enforcement responsibility.
