§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social ervices why his latest guidelines on food labelling exclude data on carbohydrates and fibre content; and if he will reconsider the possibility of requiring data on these items to be included.
§ Mrs. FennerI have been asked to reply.
We have recently issued draft guidelines on voluntary nutrition labelling which provide for both the carbohydrate and fibre content of foods to be declared.
