HC Deb 17 June 1996 vol 279 c371W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the cattle feed manufacturers who(a) now specify the full ingredients of their feeds on packaging and (b) do not do so, identifying those manufacturers who have additionally included the (i) estimated and (ii) actual amount of each ingredient; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Browning

The precise information is not available. The Government, however, welcome the recent announcement by the trade organisation that most compounders are to switch to full ingredient listing for most compound feeds at the earliest opportunity. It is estimated that this change will result in some 85 per cent. of compound feed sales being subject to full ingredient listing.
