LABELLING OF MEAT

That this House notes that it is currently permissible for meat and other products to be produced overseas, imported into the United Kingdom and processed and then labelled as British; notes actual British meat to be of a very high standard, and that British animal welfare standards are some of the best in the world; regrets that those purchasing meat may be misled by incorrect labelling into purchasing an inferior product; calls upon the Government to close this loophole; and further calls upon supermarkets and other retailers to exceed the prescriptions of law by ensuring that only that produce that has been produced in the United Kingdom is labelled as British.
