Review of Food Labelling Laws and Policy

In October 2009 a Review Panel was set up to undertake a comprehensive review of food labelling law and policy by the Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council (Ministerial Council). The Panel consisted of former Australian Health Minister Dr Neal Blewett, public health law academic Dr Chris Reynolds, economic and consumer behaviour expert Professor Simone Pettigrew, food and nutrition policy academic Associate Professor Heather Yeatman, and food industry communications, marketing and corporate affairs professional Nick Goddard.

The Review Panel considered stakeholders' perspectives provided in written submissions and other information gathered during the course of the Review process to inform the development of its recommendations. During this time the Panel directly approached individuals and organisations for further information regarding any of the written submissions received. The Final Report Labelling Logic was released on 28 January 2011.
