Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard, is confident he's disclosed all relevant conflicts of interest with Cabinet

5 April 2025
RNZ reports he's facing criticism after his sister advised his office against introducing tougher regulation of baby formula - she's the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand executive director.

Hoggard and other ministers were lobbied by companies opposing transtasman infant formula standards.

A spokesperson from Minister Hoggard's office, says specific conflicts aren't generally released publicly.

They say the fact that a Minister's conflict of interest wasn't published doesn't mean it wasn't disclosed.
