Food Labelling Submission

Submitted by Lynn MacLaren on Thu, 13/05/2010 - 10:39

13 May 2010 - The Australian and New Zealand governments are undertaking a comprehensive review of food labelling and policy.

Please find attached below the submission that Lynn MacLaren MLC has made to the review.

Please note that the submission addresses only the questions put by the review that the Greens Party already has an established position on. There are other questions put by the review that have not been covered here.

The full scope of the review can be found at www.foodlabellingreview.gov.au.

The underlying principles of the submission are:

  • That food labelling policy should be driven primarily by considerations of public health and safety; and that
  • Consumers have a right to know exactly what they are eating and how their food is being produced.
