Labelling of Sausages Survey 2004

Directive 2001/101/EC introduced a revised definition of meat, which was implemented through an amendment to the Food Labelling Regulations 1996. Pre-packed meat products have been required to be labelled with Quid declarations of their meat ingredients based on that new definition, since July 1st of 2003.

The survey was intended to assess both the level of compliance with the new labelling requirements and the accuracy of QUID declarations made for meat content, based on the new definition of meat. The scope of the survey encompassed all types of British sausages including “breakfast sausages”.
