HC Deb 31 January 2000 vol 343 c479W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he intends to publish results on glyphosate residues in soya products. [108104]

Ms Quin

Interim results on glyphosate residues, taken from the Government's ongoing monitoring programme for pesticides, are being published 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.
