HC Deb 23 July 2004 vol 424 c882W
Mr. Paterson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether liquid or powdered milk, from EU member states used in the production of milk products produced in another EU member state can be identified by UK authorities on its import to the UK. [184719]

Miss Melanie Johnson

They must carry a health mark identifying the establishment from which they come and, through that establishment, it would be possible for enforcement authorities to trace the origin of the milk used to make them.
