The countdown is on … Agriculture Minister David Littleproud has reminded companies and consumers that Country of Origin Labelling is just over a fortnight away.<\/p>\n

From July 1, products on supermarket shelves will be legally required to display country of origin information.<\/p>\n

“This is great news for customers and companies,” Mr Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

“Aussie customers will be able to choose Australian and vote with their wallets.<\/p>\n

“Companies which source their products from Australia will be able to display it loud and proud and reap the rewards.<\/p>\n

Member for Flynn Ken O\u2019Dowd welcomed Mr Littleproud to his electorate in January to visit Smart Berries\u2019 farm at Boynewood to see the Country if Origin Labelling changes in action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smart Berries rolled out the new labelling ahead of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralians want to know where their food is made and packed, and how much has been sourced from Australian farmers,\u201d Mr O\u2019Dowd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very exciting to see so many Country Of Origin Labels appearing on our supermarket shelves over the past few months and in a few short weeks, they will all need to comply with the new labelling system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
