Baroness Lockwood

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to publish results on glyphosate residues in soya products. [HL794]

The Minister of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Baroness Hayman)

Interim results on glyphosate residues, taken from the Government's ongoing monitoring programme for pesticides, are being pusblished today. A summary of the results from the first six months of a year-long survey of residues in soya products appears in MAFF's Food Safety Information Bulletin. The results show that none of the samples tested contained residues of glyphosate above the reporting level. Copies of the Food Safety Information Bulletin and a more detailed information paper have been placed in the Libraries of the House.
