[QUOTE="JP1, post: 7794750, member: 54"] A few pointers I've asked for a mandatory front of packet information box The box must contain a flag and words for country of origin (ie not where it's processed / cut up) If it's British then Union Jack of a defined proportionate size in box and "Produced in the UK". Any other Country , their flag plus words If ingredients from more than one country, all flags must be shown but occupying the same overall space taken by the single Union Jack or other flags with wording "Produce of more than one country" Meat must have mandatory stun method entered; stun, halal, kosher Production system voluntary box. Only wording descriptions approved by DEFRA may be entered with minimum legal definitions available through an online resource Assurance standard voluntary box and again only DEFRA approved schemes with definitions / explanations available online e.g. Red Tractor, Soil Association , Pasture For Life ELSEWHERE on packaging only wordings approved by DEFRA / ASA allowed on food packaging: Angus / Hereford sired OK but online resource explaining this is not Aberdeen Angus beef but something sired by a registered sire. Free range means different things per species. Organic .......... Marketing farm type names / brands OK if all the above is statutorily supplied [/QUOTE]
