HC Deb 01 February 2000 vol 343 c569W
Dr. Naysmith

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action the Government are taking to curb misleading country of origin labelling on food products. [108318]

Mr. Nick Brown

Following consultation of the food industry and enforcement authorities I issued today revised guidance notes on origin labelling to ensure that consumers are not misled about the true origin of the food they buy. A copy of the guidance notes has been placed in the Library of both Houses.
