Current Consultation: Food Standards Agency guidance on clear food labelling (Scotland)

17 October 2007

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued Clear Food Labelling Guidance in 2002 and is now seeking to issue improved Guidance by making the changes set out in this consultation. The guidance sets out legislative requirements, as well as best practice advice.

The objectives of the guidance are:

To improve labelling practice with respect to clear labelling and awareness of existing legislation on clear labelling in the manufacturing and retail sectors
To improve consumer confidence in labelling through improved clarity, particularly bearing in mind visual impairment issues
To provide enforcement authorities with guidance to help them improve labelling advice

Responses are requested by 24 December 2007.

More information can be accessed at the FSA website.
