HC Deb 01 February 1990 vol 166 c358W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what form of words he deems acceptable for labelling meat where gels containing enzymes have been used as binding agents; and if he will make a further statement.

Mr. Maclean

There is very little I can add to the answer I gave to the hon. Member on 17 January 1990, at column 217. All food is required to be labelled so as to give an indication of its true nature and where necessary its physical condition or treatment to ensure consumers are not misled. It is for the food manufacturer to decide how he complies with the law; it would be inappropriate for me to suggest forms of labelling for specific products such as this.
