Topical Questions

Topical question asked in the House of Commons, by Kerry McCarthy (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 12 January 2023 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Question

There have been reports this week that the UK might be about to adopt ludicrous proposals that were, quite rightly, rejected by the EU to ban producers of plant-based products from using terms that are traditionally associated with meat and dairy. I do not think that anyone buying a hot dog actually thinks that it has canine content. Does the Minister think that the British public is so stupid to think that a product called “oat milk” comes from a cow?

Answer

My advice is not to believe everything that we read in the papers.
