Fresh whole or cut fruit and vegetables

A label on or in connection with the display of the food –

(a) identifying the country or countries of origin of the food; or
(b) containing a statement indicating that the foods are a mix of
local and/or imported foods as the case may be.

Whole or cut fruit and vegetables where that produce has
been preserved, pickled, cooked, frozen or dehydrated
except where that produce has been mixed with food not
regulated by this subclause (other than with those foods
used in the preserving, pickling or cooking as the case
may be)

A label on or in connection with the display of the food –

(a) identifying the country or countries of origin of the food; or
(b) containing a statement indicating that the foods are a mix
of local and/or imported foods as the case may be.

Where the food is displayed for retail sale in a package
that does not obscure the nature or quality of the food

Fresh whole or cut fruit and vegetables

A label on the package or in connection with the display of the food –

(a) identifying the country or countries of origin of the food; or
(b) containing a statement indicating that the foods are a mix
of local and/or imported foods as the case may be.

(3) Where the food listed in Column 1 to the Table to subclause 2(2) is displayed for retail sale other than in a package, and
the requirements of Column 2 are being met by a label in connection with the display of the food, in addition to the
requirements of Standard 1.2.9, the label must be in size of type of at least 9 mm.\n
Editorial note:
Subclause 2(2) governs the country of origin requirements for fresh and processed unpackaged produce, or fresh produce that
is packaged in such a way that the nature or quality of the food is not obscured, such as in a plastic or mesh bag, that are
currently available on the market.

Retailers will have two options. They may label the individual commodities, such as with a sticker, as is a common practice
with apples, oranges and lemons etc. Or they may place a label on a sign in association with the food in 9 mm type stating the
country or countries of origin of the produce or make a ‘qualified claim’ that the foods are a mix of local and/or imported
foods as the case may be. This would commonly be the case with soup mixes of whole vegetables that are displayed for retail
sale in a plastic bag.

If the mix comprises Australian produce and produce from other countries, the retailer can either declare each country of
origin, or that the food is a mix of local and imported produce.

If the mix comprises produce from other countries, the retailer may either declare the individual countries of origin, or
declare that the food is made up of imported produce.

This subclause also applies to unpackaged fish, fruit and vegetables that have undergone some form of processing. In the case
of fruit and vegetables, the subclause applies to food products such as olives that have been soaked in salt water or vinegar,
sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil or tofu. Where those products have been mixed with other foods not regulated by the
subclause, such as pasta, the country of origin provisions do not apply.

Standard 1.2.9 provides that each word, statement, expression or design prescribed to be contained, written or set out in a
label must, wherever occurring, be so contained, written or set out legibly and prominently such as to afford a distinct
contrast to the background, and in the English language.

Fruit and vegetables are defined in Standard 2.3.1, and that definition includes nuts.

[4.2] omitting subclause 1(1) of Standard 1.2.11, substituting –
