You may already be aware of this:
http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/review-food-labelling-law-&-policy This food labelling review by the Australia and New Zealand Food Ministerial Council is taking place at present and initial public submissions are being accepted until November 20th. Apparently there will be further consultation with the public and an opportunity to make further submissions, presumably upon the recommendations that come out of the first review.
I thought you might be interested in reading about this and for Australians on the board, possibly writing your own submission. I have just finished mine and will be submitting it tomorrow.
Submissions may be emailed to:
FoodLabellingReview@health.gov.au This is for human food but I did refer to my experience with gamma irradiated cat food in support of my submission for full disclosure and labelling. I’m expecting to hear any day now about the outcome of the Primary Industries Ministerial Council reviewing pet food safety and possible regulation of the industry. They were due to report in November.
Best wishes
