Public Confidence In Food

EDM number 2152 in 2005-06, proposed by Ian Taylor on 11/05/2006.

That this House notes that the public's interest in the nature of the food they are eating has never been higher; further notes that a series of food scares have all shaken consumer confidence; further notes that seven out of 10 shoppers said they lacked confidence in the foods they bought and the level of information they were given; congratulates in particular Birdseye for the work it has done to reformulate its product portfolio by removing artificial colourings, flavours and preservatives and ensuring that its products use natural ingredients; and believes that a positive way to address the issue of consumer confidence in foods is to provide consumers with clear details about the food they are buying through factual and informative advertising and marketing activity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
