Food Labelling

There is a lot of talk about this at the moment and hopefully in the not too distant future we will see our food labelled accurately with origin and percentage of what is Australian. At the moment things are too vague and confusing and with recent problems with illness from Hepatitis A due to overseas foods coming into the country from places that do not have strict laws like us, it is no wonder that people want to see change. We do not want vegetables coming in through the back door of another country, sold to the consumer with inaccurate labelling. We want to see greater transparency as far as where food is made, as well as origin of that food. A farmgate tour with Australian Wild Harvest certainly shows where the food comes – no mistaking origin here.
