    An infant formula industry voice is grateful for the Government's decision to opt out of a regulation proposal

    An infant formula industry voice is grateful for the Government's decision to opt out of a regulation proposal


    Rules designed by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand restrict labelling - and only let pharmacies and healthcare providers sell specialist formula.

    Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard says we won't adopt the proposal after Australian officials rejected a bid to review the labelling requirement.

    Infant Nutrition Council CEO Jonathan Chew says this ensures parents have the information to make informed decisions.

    He says the industry's commending Hoggard for his personal intervention and for listening to their concerns.
