Talk:United Kingdom food information regulations

message: Some attempts to enforce the provisions relating to the name of the food have been widely misreported and distorted by the press, leading to almost hysterical outbursts by less informed members of the public who resolutely refuse to believe the enforcements officer's version of events despite their own lack of direct knowledge thereof and the known habits of disinformation from much of the tabloid press
Examples include 
'Dragon' sausages where a simple attempt to get them labelled with the basic name of the food resulted in the trader and the press concentrating on the fact that no-one would think the sausages contained dragon while disregarding the fact no-one would know what they actually did contain because of inadequate labelling.
'Robin' cakes where a similar attempt led to an equally vociferous outburst about there being obviously no robin in the cakes.  However, here it should be noted that the Robin in question was supposed to Robin the frog (Kermit's relative) from the Muppet show and that the trader may be trying to elicit public sympathy in the hope of avoiding action over copyright matters.

Avoid expalaining what best before date is and what kind of food should carry this kind of labels in a formal and accurate words.  Instead, the examples are given.  To me, this kind of practice is OK for research but not OK for production mode.  --222.67.208.102 (talk) 03:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

message: It might be an idea if this article were to discuss whether it is - as I believe it is - the law that if a food product contains certain foods to which many people have an allergy, such as mustard, celery or sesame seeds, then this must be stated on the packet. If this were not the case, why is it that, here in the United Kingdom, time and time again one can read that a product was "made on a line where sesame seeds are handled"? Also, given the prevalence of coeliac disease, I believe it might be law for products to state whether they contain gluten. Finally, I believe that many products have to advertise whether they are made with milk, given that so many people may have an allergy to cow's milk. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right it would be good to include that. If you can find a source to back up what you believe then please add it to the article. Smartse (talk) 23:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

text: That sounds suitable but the link is dead for me for some reason. If you could find an FSA source that would be better. Smartse (talk) 00:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  About the drug labeling regulations..... 

message: Discussions of what the food label should/should not contain are plentiful. Unfortunately the basics are forgotten. Nobody mentioned what should be the language of the label. For instance, seen in the UK yesterday, Turkish product, with description in several languages but NOT in ENGLISH. I believe there is a (UK and EU) regulation which require the label to be in the language spoken/readily understood in the country where it is sold, perhaps someone can append a link to that regulation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.233.216 (talk) 08:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
