- Answer
-
Mr. Spring: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy on the potential redefinition of British yoghurt products containing fruit and/or nuts under Codex proposals. [30696] Mr. Rooker: The UK is opposed to any definition of `yoghurt' which might unreasonably restrict product innovation and diversity, without providing any clear benefit to our consumers. The UK believes that the definition of composite yoghurt products, containing ingredients such as fruit or nuts, is unnecessary in the draft Codex text.
