‘Best (act) Before’ Country of Origin food labelling deadlines are enforceable: how to prepare to comply
From 1 July 2018 food businesses must comply with labelling requirements set out by the Australian Government which aim to provide consumers with greater transparency on the origin of their food.
Failure to comply with the new standards can prove costly to businesses, with penalties of up to $1.1 million for corporations and up to $220,000 for individuals on the table for those who have not updated their packaging by the deadline.
