Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Baroness Hayman of Ullock on 3 February (HL4305 and HL4306), what is their timescale to decide the next steps and respond to the ‘Fairer food labelling’ consultation, which ran from 12 March to 7 May 2024.
A public consultation on fairer food labelling was undertaken last year by the previous Government. We are now carefully considering all responses before deciding on next steps. We recognise that this is an important matter and will respond to this consultation as soon as we are able to.
