Food Fraud

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

My hon. Friend has put his finger on it. As has already been pointed out, price is the driver of food crime, and as Professor Elliott said in his report, if major retailers or processors have a deal that is too good to be true, they should trace it to its source. Both processors and retailers have a real responsibility in that regard. It is no good saying that they have not the facilities or the wherewithal; they have the ultimate responsibility.
