Country of Origin Food Labelling - New Zealand Regulations 2021
On 9th September 2021, due to disruptions caused by COVID-19, the Government agreed to delay the commencement of these Regulations by three months.
The new date of compliance is 12th February 2022. By then all fresh single-origin food sold in New Zealand will be subject to the new Origin of Food Labelling Regulations 2021. Complying could be as simple as adding an extra label to existing packaging, or perhaps it's time to freshen up your custom product labels with a whole new design. Food Labels must comply with new Country of Origin Labelling Regulations by 12th February 2022. Note, the regulations do not apply to frozen foods until 12th May 2023.
