Food Fraud

Proceeding contribution from Ian Swales (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 September 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate on Food Fraud.

While we are on the subject of crime, may I ask what my hon. Friend thinks are the ultimate responsibilities of retailers? Are they not ultimately responsible for what they sell? Does my hon. Friend believe that the right controls are in place, and that the penalties are right? The hon. Member for Tiverton and Honiton (Neil Parish) mentioned the prices of some of the processed meals involved. Does my hon. Friend not think that the retailers ought to have known that those meals could not have been produced at that price with the proper contents?
