§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has authorised the use of any products containing enzymes from blood for the purpose of creating restructured fresh meat products; if he has received any requests for approval for trials of such products; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacleanNo. No such requests have been received. The use of enzymes in food is subject to the general provisions of the Food Act. It is an offence to add any substance to food intended for sale so as to render the food injurious to health.
