That this House is concerned that some supermarket low-cost line foods such as pork sausages and fish pies contain less than 10 per cent. of pork or fish, respectively, while being bulked out with ingredients such as water, animal fats and sugar; and believes that such practices are a threat to the nation's health and that such products should not be misrepresented as pork sausages or fish pies when their nomenclatured content is so low.
This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
