Food integrity - No room for doubt on food labels

The relationship between consumer and food supplier is so fundamental to our wellbeing that the trust consumers show every time they buy a food product must always be justified and protected.

Food integrity - No room for doubt on food labels

The vast majority of us depend on others to supply us and our families with food, so every time we buy food described as ‘X’, we need to know with certainty that what we are getting is precisely ‘X’.

As we become ever more urbanised and distant from the sources of our food, it is possible that safeguards will have to become even more stringent, rather than less so.
