Cosmetic specifications for fresh produce and national food security

That this House notes with concern the impact of extreme summer heat on UK fresh produce; calls for greater flexibility in cosmetic specifications for fresh produce, given that appearance does not reflect nutritional value, in order to reduce food waste before it leaves the farm gate; further calls on the Government to strengthen the powers of the Groceries Code Adjudicator to protect both producers and consumers; believes that food security is national security; and further believes that a Good Food Bill would help transform England's food system to reduce reliance on foreign imports rather than domestic self-sufficiency, improve access to nutritious food, support lower prices for consumers, and establish a statutory national food strategy.
