HC Deb 04 April 1984 vol 57 c585W
Mr. Terlezki

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce legislation to require sausage manufacturers to give details of the exact contents of their sausages on the wrappers; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

The Food Labelling Regulations 1980 already require a full list of ingredients in descending order by weight on most prepacked foods, including sausages. The proposed Meat Products and Spreadable Fish Products Regulations, which are expected to be laid before Parliament by the Summer Recess would require all pre-packed sausages to carry a declaration of minimum meat content on the label.
