HC Deb 14 February 2000 vol 344 c421W
Ms Shipley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will lower the advised sugar content included in his guidance on packaged baby food. [108584]

Ms Quin

MAFF has not issued advice on the sugar content of packaged baby foods as statutory controls are laid down in the Processed Cereal Based Foods and Baby Foods for Infants and Young Children Regulations 1997. These Regulations implement European rules and any amendments would need to be agreed at Community level.
