AUSVEG
AUSVEG, Australia’s peak industry body for the vegetable and potato industries, has called on state governments to heed the calls of Australia’s fruit industries for common sense to prevail with the Health Star Rating system to ensure consumers have simple, clear information around the health of the products they buy.
Government Ministers will meet at the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation on Friday to vote on a proposal to change the Health Star Rating (HSR) system, which would result in the HSR for fresh juices downgraded to below those of diet soft drinks.
