Positive meeting with fast food companies regarding country of origin labelling
MINISTER for Agricul- ture and Water Resourc- es David Littleproud was pleased with a positive response from the fast food industry at a round- table on country of ori-
gin labelling recently.
“I thank the businesses for their attendance and spirit of co-operation,”
Minister Littleproud said. “Major fast food provid- ers were warm to the idea
of displaying the country of origin percentages of their standard menu items on their websites and in their apps as a first step.
“Displaying the coun- try of origin information
for standard menu items is a sensible first step that would increase transparen- cy for the consumer hugely.
“Aussies deserve to know where their food comes from.
“They deserve to know how much of a product is made from Australian farm produce, especially as so many Australians use country of origin as a gauge of food quality.
“Displaying country of origin information online would give consumers choice.
“They can then choose to vote with their wallets.” The forum agreed to meet again to work through technical issues
in coming months. Country of origin label-
ling becomes law for pack- aged foods on July 1.
