Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered am ar 5 Awst 2024.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans, if any, they have to introduce a legal definition of (1) sourdough bread and (2) other sourdough products.
The Government has no current plans to introduce a legal definition to specifically cover the use of the term ‘sourdough’. The UK maintains high food standards including on requirements relating to food labelling and information. Existing legislation ensures the labelling and marketing of food, including sourdough products, does not intentionally mislead consumers.
