HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 c824W
Mr. Singh

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will estimate the percentage of baby food products sold in the United Kingdom in 1997 which contained unlabelled genetically modified soya. [30417]

Mr. Rooker

This information is not recorded. However, the Food Manufacturers Federation, the British Retail Consortium and the Institute of Grocery Distribution announced in November 1997 that their members, which include all the major food manufacturers and retailers, would be labelling products containing genetically modified soya or maize from January this year.
