Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many retailers in England have been fined for failure to comply with the Infant Formula and Follow-on Formula (England) Regulations 2007 in each year since 2007.

The Food Standards Agency has recently established a central register of successful food law prosecutions and has not been made aware of any such prosecutions in England.

Monitoring food businesses to ensure compliance with food legislation is the responsibility of local authorities. Local authorities are also responsible for taking enforcement action, including prosecutions, where non-compliance is found.
