Farming and countryside news. Anna Hill hears fears that traffic light labelling of food could put consumers off buying dairy products.
There are fears that a new food labelling system will stop us buying dairy products. The government today introduces traffic light labels, which will be used by all major retailers. But the dairy industry is concerned that an amber label on milk and red labels on some cheeses will stop people buying them. Should dairy products really be labelled as more unhealthy than diet fizzy drinks?
And a Shropshire beekeeper is forced to spend Β£10,000 buying bees from abroad because he has lost two thirds of his hives in the past 18 months.
Presented by Anna Hill. Produced by Emma Weatherill.
