Consumers’ Right to Know (Country of Origin of Food) Act 2018 (2018 No 52).

The purpose of this Act is to provide for a simple mandatory system in New Zealand that provides consumers with accurate information about the country or place of origin of certain foods to enable informed decisions about purchasing the food.
The Act rules that the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs must recommend the making of regulations under section 27 of the Fair Trading Act 1986 prescribing a consumer information standard for the disclosure of a regulated food’s country or place of origin. The regulated foods must include: a) only 1 type of fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, or seafood that is fresh (even if previously frozen) or frozen and is no more than minimally processed; or cured pork; and (b) is supplied, or offered or advertised for supply, at retail, including on an Internet site; and (c) is not supplied, or offered or advertised for supply at a fundraising event or by any of the following for immediate consumption: a restaurant, cafeteria, takeaway shop, canteen, or similar place, or a caterer; and (d) is packaged or unpackaged.
