Look out for this logo


This is a logo I have come across in my early searches for Australian grown produce.  It is an image to keep in mind when looking for Australian produced food, especially in supermarkets where it is often seen in the fruit and vegetable sections.

Here it is - the Australian Grown logo.






For further reading about the history and application of the Australian Grown logo have a look at this website, suited to students, but good reading for anyone interested in Australian products and labelling.

It is often linked with another logo of a similar design which uses the words Australian Made but for the purposes of this blog which revolves around food, I am specifically interested in Australian Grown. The lines between the words grown and made are sometimes blurred and close attention has to be paid when reading labels on food products.

Welcome to the challenges of label reading.
