Food labelling system failing Australian consumers

A new report reveals that Australia's food labelling system is failing consumers, with 40 public health recommendations made 15 years ago remaining largely unimplemented. The Food for Health Alliance warns that deceptive labelling practices, such as products claiming to be 99% fruit and yoghurt while containing over 60% sugar, are widespread due to a regulatory system that prioritises industry interests over public health. Andrea Schmidtke from the Food for Health Alliance calls for mandatory labelling requirements and systemic reform to ensure transparency and consumer protection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
