§ Mr. JenkinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has for issuing regulations on guidance on fat content on menus in restaurants in the UK in a similar way to that on food bought in supermarkets. [71568]
§ Ms Blears[holding answer 22 July 2002]: I have no such plans. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is exploring practical ways to help those who wish to choose a healthy diet to select appropriate options when eating out. The FSA has commissioned the British Nutrition Foundation to examine practice in other countries and relevant research, and to identify actions it might take. The FSA plans to publish the report of this study and discuss the recommendations it makes in detail with interested parties later this year.
