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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to introduce mandatory labelling across meat and dairy products stating how animals were kept and, where appropriate, where animals were not stunned prior to slaughter.

A public consultation on fairer food labelling was undertaken last year by the previous Government. This sought views on proposals to improve and extend current mandatory method of production labelling. We are now carefully considering all responses before deciding on next steps and will respond to this consultation in due course.
