“Our members have expressed their disquiet at the barriers this Bill puts up to their way of life and their financial viability…” 20 February 2014
Food Bill – Submissions, extracts:
“…A walk around a farmer’s market will provide insight into public interest in locally produced gourmet foods. Many of these items (jams, relishes, fruit vinegars, mustards, marinated mushrooms, damson gin etc) are currently on Schedule 2 and if these regulations go ahead they will disappear from our farmer’s markets and from our tables…”
Update – late 2014: This bill has now passed into law as the NZ Food Act.
Do you have anything to tell us, below?
