Can Canada create a food labeling system similar to this?
It's confusing trying to buy Canadian with all the variations of made in, assembled in, grown in, packaged in, etc. Can we copy the Australian food labeling system, perhaps replacing the kangeroo with a maple leaf? I find this much clearer.
You're viewing a single thread.
Is this for real, do they really have this? You're winning Australia, don't let this stuff go.
Also don't let go of your "standard drink" stuff on the side of piss. I loved that while I was there. Sure I can guess how much alcohol I've had in the last couple hours by reckoning my 3 or 4 beers had 5%, 6.5%x2, and 8% and this means I'm tipsy. But it's so much easier to understand how drunk I am when it's 1+1.5+1.5+2=6 standard drinks.
It's just a good system despite the many flaws.
They sure do! I'm in NZ and buy more Australia Made stuff than NZ Made because most if the NZ Made was just packaged here but the labelling is unclear.
I'd love to get this labelling for NZ products.
Commented this elsewhere as an Aussie. It makes a quick buck for some NZ business person but it kills your reputation. Great country. Should be great products. I would buy 100% made in NZ above anything but local. It's crazy not to promote local content when you have such a strong national brand.
There used to be (maybe still is) a "Made in NZ" label. But I am not sure if it's not around anymore or there just isn't much that you could say is 100% NZ made.
E.g. most of our "Made in NZ" bacon is made from Canadian or European pork. Made in NZ from 1% NZ ingredients.
I love the Aussie labels because I would definitely buy based on the ingredients being mostly NZ origin rather than just whether some processing happened here.
