Food Bill
Government Bill
160-2
As reported from the Primary Production Committee Commentary Recommendation
The Primary Production Committee has examined the Food Bill and recommends
that it be passed with the amendments shown.
Introduction
This bill would on commencement replace the Food Act 1981 and over time the
Food Hygiene Regulations 1974 and the Food (Safety) Regulations 2002. It
would also make consequential amendments to the Animal Products Act 1999 and
the Wine Act 2003. It seeks to provide an efficient, risk-based regulatory
regime that places a primary duty on persons trading in food to ensure that
what is sold is safe and suitable.
This commentary focuses on the main amendments we recommend and does not
address minor technical amendments.

Anyone here from New Zealand or know anyone living there?
Is there a food bill going through that will take away the right to grow
your own food or is this more scare tactics?
