People buying seafood in restaurants, cafes and other hospitality venues will have to be told where it comes from, under regulations that come into effect on 1 July.
Key points:
- Country of origin labelling for seafood now mandatory in hospitality venues
- Cook Labor Government committed to ensuring consumers know what they're buying
- Clear labels needed to identify if seafood is Australian, imported or mixed
- Strong support from industry and consumers
Reports of non-compliance can be made to consumer@lgirs.wa.gov.au or by calling 1300 30 40 54.
