Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of changes to labelling requirements from 1 October 2024 on the financial viability of dairy businesses.

A public consultation on not for EU labelling requirements was held earlier this year and closed on 15 March. The evidence is now being analysed, including feedback on potential costs, and we expect to publish a response in due course.
