NEW FAT LABELLING REGULATIONS

Abstract

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food is at present considering comments from the food industry, consumer groups and other interested parties on their draft regulations on fat content labelling of food. It is hoped that the regulations, which will require the total fat and saturated fat contents of most foods to be clearly indicated to the consumer, may be put to the House before the summer recess. The regulations may then be introduced at the beginning of 1987 and become mandatory one year later.
