HC Deb 25 March 1998 vol 309 c189W
Dr. Gibson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce labelling of pork sausages which contain beef in relation to BSE risks. [35650]

Mr. Rooker

No. Warning statements of this nature are unjustified on any food containing beef, including pork sausages. Labelling rules already require ingredients lists on pork sausages which also contain other meats to declare the presence of each type of meat separately. I consider these rules sufficient to enable consumers to make their own decisions about whether or not they buy particular products.
