§ Mr. Liddell-GraingerTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what advice has been given to yoghurt manufacturers to help them comply with EU Directives on yoghurt classification. [139045]
§ Miss Melanie JohnsonI have been asked to reply.
I am advised by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) that there is no specific European Union legislation on the composition and labelling of yoghurt. However, the European Commission is considering the need for such legislation and the form it might take. The FSA is currently consulting interested parties on a draft document prepared by the Commission.
