More reading about labelling laws and label reading

Because this is an area which is fraught with difficulty I am including this link which will take you to the ACCC page where you can read the ACCC definitions straight off your computer screen - or whatever happens to be your choice of screen.

It ties in with this previous post here and explains what the consumer's expectations should be when they read these words on a food product label.

When I am reading labels for country of origin, I look for "Grown In" and "Product Of" first of all; with fresh produce this should be a straight forward exercise. 

However, I am wary when reading labels where the words "Made In" appear and I check the ingredients to see whether they are likely to be grown in Australia or not.

 All products labelled with the words "Made In " are treated with great caution.
