Labelling Review 2010


The Ethical Consumer Group aims to provide information to consumers on the wider impacts of everyday purchases and provide information on alternatives to minimise these impacts. In the light of this, we see transparency about products and processes as primary in allowing consumers to make informed and responsible decisions as to a best purchase according to what they value.

The review of Australia's food labeling laws is underway with submissions due Friday, 14th May.
There are many issues that can be addressed, including labelling of genetically modified food, palm oil, country of origin labelling, animal welfare, trans-fats, and seafood labelling.

See Terms of Reference and further information at Food Labelling Review.

We've put together this quick survey to assess what are the important issues for you in making an informed choice about your food purchases. We hope to ascertain:

  1) consumer concerns in relation to adequate labelling of food products
  2)  the usefulness of present labelling 

This will form part of our submission.

Please take a minute to fill in our survey.
