answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>Food labelling rules are set at EU level and require that food information is not misleading. This Government has pressed for better information for consumers during negotiations relating to food labelling in Europe.</p><p>Food businesses are responsible for ensuring their products are safe and accurately labelled. The Government backs this up with risk-based checks carried out by Local Authorities. In addition, Defra develops validated testing methods under its Food Authenticity programme to check for mis-description and fraud. These methods are used by Public Analysts and Local Authorities to support food law enforcement.</p><p>The majority of food law enforcement is delegated to Local Authorities throughout the UK who carry out checks of food businesses in their area to ensure compliance with food safety, traceability and labelling requirements. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) supports Local Authorities by providing funding for additional sampling and providing expert advice and training. A total of £2 million is being provided in 2014-15 to support additional food sampling. Measures to co-ordinate food standards enforcement across Local Authorities are kept under continual review by the FSA to improve effectiveness of delivery, working with Local Authorities and trading standards professional bodies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 04/12/2014 10:53:26 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
