Fairer Food Labelling

DEFRA is developing fairer food labelling requirements to help UK consumers make healthier dietary choices and address obesity. The policy involves consultation on labelling standards, compositional requirements, and potential amendments to bread and flour regulations across England and Northern Ireland. This is an active initiative linked to the Farm to Fork agenda and post-Brexit regulatory alignment.
