FOOD STANDARDS AGENCY GUIDELINES

Early day motion 1687, tabled 13 June 2007 by David Davies (Conservative). Signed by 56 members.

That this House notes with great concern that Asda is unable to advertise its whole fat milk range on children's television as a result of Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidelines; recognises the vital role that milk plays in ensuring children receive sufficient calcium for growth and development; notes that the Dairy Council has expressed concern over the clarity of the FSA's guidelines; further notes that the FSA's guidelines have led to honey, raisins and cheese being categorised as junk food while chicken nuggets and oven chips have been given the all clear; and, in light of these discrepancies, urges the FSA to improve its guidelines immediately to ensure that healthy, nutritious foodstuffs can be advertised during children's television programming in the future.
