The National Council of Women, aware of the increased importation of food from worldwide sources, urges Her Majesty’s Government to press the appropriate regulatory bodies to require that: (a) the country of origin of any meat or meat-sourced ingredients in all products for human consumption should be stated specifically because of the wide variations in food hygiene regulations and animal welfare outside the UK; (b) the description “˜produced in the UK’ be confined to meat products containing meat from animals born, reared and slaughtered here.
