HC Deb 18 March 1983 vol 39 c279W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which preservatives used in fresh food do not have to be declared to the consumer; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

The declaration of preservatives when used as ingredients in food is controlled by the Food Labelling Regulations 1980. No preservative which is permitted to be used in food is exempt from this control.
