Andrew Rosindell
Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs)
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing labelling on animal products that will inform consumers of (a) how that animal was kept and (b) how that animal was killed.
Daniel Zeichner
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Government recognises the strong public interest in clearer animal welfare information on the food they buy.
A consultation on proposals to improve and extend current mandatory method of production labelling, was undertaken by the previous Government. We are now carefully considering all responses before deciding on next steps and will respond to this consultation in due course.
