Call to make HSR mandatory for all packaged foods
Australia
Nov 21, 2024
Health Coalition Aotearoa (HCA), alongside 20 public health groups on both sides of the Tasman, is calling on our Food Minister Andrew Hoggard and his Food Safety Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) counterparts for a clear commitment and plan to mandate Health Star Rating (HSR) for all packaged food products.
A target to have HSR on 60 per cent of all packaged products by yesterday – November 14, 2024 – has almost certainly not been met, with an April survey of 2023 data by the University of Auckland finding just 30 per cent of products carried the label in New Zealand.
An Australian audit of products from 2024 revealed just 36 per cent had an HSR in Australia.
