HL Deb 11 October 1999 vol 605 c46WA
Lord Cocks of Hartcliffe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Given that French wine producers have been forbidden to add dried bulls blood to French wines by the European Community since October 1997, whether imported French wine produced before 1997 is a health hazard to British drinkers. [HL3825]

Baroness Hayman

There is no evidence that wine produced in France before 1997 and which was clarified with blood albumin poses a threat to human health.
