Tassie farms win concession on imported food
12 Aug 2005

The cavalcade of Tasmanian and other vegetable growers has secured a government promise of tougher country-of-origin labelling. Food Standards Australia New Zealand will publish a new draft standard improving some labelling for imported products. Food products with less than 85 per cent Australian-grown content will be branded "imported", under likely new labelling laws. The managing director of food company SPC Ardmona, Nigel Gerrard, said his company would continue to source produce from Australian growers in preference to imports.
