Consumers ‘misled’ by abuse of labelling laws

CONSUMERS are being totally misled through the abuse of labelling laws, a senior Fine Gael TD claimed yesterday.

Michael Creed, the party’s agricultural spokesman, said that the totally inadequate labelling regime had left the entire agrifood sector under threat.

Fine Gael will make this issue the subject of its private members time in the Dáil this week, which means that labelling will be debated over the course of two days in Leinster House.
