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’.
This imperative justifies whatever intrusion officialdom makes into the food production and retail processes to ensure standards are met. 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.
