\u201cMost Australians think that all meat that they buy is Australian,\u201d Australian Pork\u2019s Peter Haydon told Leon on FIVEAA. \u201cThat\u2019s true for all fresh meat, but for some meat that\u2019s pre-cooked, it can be imported.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe think that Australians should have enough clear information to make their own decision about how they spend their money,\u201d Mr Haydon said.<\/p>\n
Mr Haydon said it was important Australians knew the meat they were buying was from \u201cdown the road\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just another example of why country of origin labelling is so important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe think it should be a requirement that consumers know that its either Australian or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
