Walsh action on food labelling welcomed

THE Consumer Liaison Panel has welcomed a prompt response to concerns it had raised with Agriculture and Food Minister Joe Walsh about food labelling.

It said last week’s report from the Food Labelling Group (FLG) followed a recommendation it had made to the minister this summer.

The panel was concerned about the lack of clarity in relation to food labelling and were of the view that consumers had the right to information on the origin of the food they eat.
