The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch on 2016-09-12.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 12 May (HL8175), what steps they are taking to make country of origin labelling mandatory for all milk and dairy products.

At present, most milk and dairy products are labelled with their origin on a voluntary basis.

We are continuing to work with the food industry to explore what more can be done to make it easier for consumers and food businesses to know when they are buying British.
