To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will propose to the European Food Safety Authority a single market in the nutrition labelling, including salt content, of food products. [HL4030]

The Government are pressing for mandatory nutrition labelling of at least energy, fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt on most pre-packed foods in negotiations to update European nutrition labelling legislation. The Government are also supporting the European Commission's proposal that this mandatory information may be supplemented on front-of-pack with additional information that has been proven to help consumers identify healthier choices.
