PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN FOOD LABELLING (6 November 2007)
Motion Details
That this House believes that British consumers are entitled to know exactly how and where the food they are eating is produced and that clear and unambiguous labelling stating the country of origin of the major ingredients is required to achieve this; and further believes that this will level the playing field for British farmers and enable British consumers to show their preference for home-grown food which is produced to high standards of animal welfare, health and safety and environmental protection.
