Monday 18th March 2024Asked by: Briggs, Miles (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Lothian)
Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-25115 by Jenni Minto on 26 February 2024, what response it has received from the (a) Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and (b) Food Standards Agency, including counterparts in (i) England, (ii) Wales and (iii) Northern Ireland, regarding the development of a four-nation policy proposal under the UK Food Compositional Standards and Labelling Common Framework in relation to mandatory braille labelling of food products.
Answered by Minto, Jenni - Minister for Public Health and Women's Health
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in Wales and Northern Ireland, have noted the petition PE1997: Introduce mandatory braille labelling for food products sold in Scotland and the interest in Scotland around progressing this issue under the UK Food Compositional Standards and Labelling Common Framework. Defra have indicated that the UK Government has no immediate plans to initiate a public consultation on policy proposals for the introduction of mandatory braille labelling on food products, citing several factors that need to be explored before policy development can be considered on a UK-wide basis. This includes how viable braille labelling would be on a wide range of packaging, as well as the relative effectiveness and associated costs alongside using alternative different digital technologies. FSS intend to initiate stakeholder engagement in this respect during the 2024-25 business year and will keep the other UK lead departments updated at Common Framework discussions.

S6W-25115
Monday 26th February 2024Asked by: Briggs, Miles (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Lothian)
Question
To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the Food Standards Scotland (FSS) written submission to the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee of 20 December 2023, in relation to public petition PE1997, what the timescale is for FSS to discuss any proposed consultation on mandatory braille labelling of food products with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Food Standards Agency in Wales and Northern Ireland.
Answered by Minto, Jenni - Minister for Public Health and Women's Health
FSS officials meet with officials in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in Wales and Northern Ireland, lead departments for food labelling in the rest of the UK, on a bimonthly basis. FSS continues to highlight that braille labelling of food products is being considered by the Scottish Parliament Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee, and the importance being placed on this issue in Scotland. Development of any policy proposals would need to be considered on a four-nation basis under the UK Food Compositional Standards and Labelling Common Framework.
