Motion text

That this House congratulates Longman’s Cheese of North Cadbury, Somerset, on winning Silver for its Salted Whey-Cream Butter at the 2026 Great British Food Awards, in a year when the awards received a record number of entries; notes that the butter is made from whey cream that retains living cultures and owes its natural golden colour to the carotene in milk from grass-fed cows; recognises the skill and care that go into producing a distinctive, high-quality butter that showcases the very best of Somerset dairy; celebrates Longman’s as a champion of local food and of the farmers who supply it; wishes the business continued success; and calls on the Government to strengthen fairness throughout the dairy supply chain, protect UK dairy farmers in trade negotiations, introduce mandatory country-of-origin labelling so that consumers can make informed choices about where their food comes from and its environmental impact, and strengthen the Groceries Code Adjudicator to support producers and protect consumers from unfair price rises.
