FOOD AND THE NATIONAL CONSUMER COUNCIL Available to Purchase

The National Consumer Council, financed by a grant from the Department of Trade and Industry, aims to independently research, report, persuade and campaign on issues concerning consumers. Its work in the food activity has focused recently on three main issues: labels on food products to inform consumers about food contents in an easily understood manner; irradiation and its effect on consumers, particularly on their right to know whether food has been subject to irradiation; harmonisation in the EEC; food policy, particularly the representation of consumer organisations in industry.
