HC Deb 03 December 2002 vol 395 c775W
Dr. Fox

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps the Food Standards Agency has taken with regard to the safety of unregulated imported soft drinks. [84026]

Ms Blears

All food, including soft drinks, is subject to the same food safety legislation, whether produced in the United Kingdom or imported. This legislation is enforced by local authorities. In addition, soft drinks imported from countries outside the European Union are subject to checks by local port health authorities.
