Progressive’s Country of Origin Labelling Regime
15 August 2007
Progressive’s Country of Origin
Labelling Programme
The vast majority of whole
sourced fresh food products sold in Foodtown, Woolworths and
Countdown stores is New Zealand sourced.
For example over the last 12 months our stores have sold:
• 100% NZ
fresh whole sourced chicken
• 100% NZ fresh whole
sourced seafood
• 98% NZ fresh whole sourced meat
• 78% NZ fresh whole sourced fruit and vegetables
Progressive Enterprises Limited has also had in place for sometime a proactive ‘Best Practice Policy’ of labelling Country of Origin on all imported fresh fruit and vegetables and will also look to work with our suppliers to implement this for any imported whole sourced fresh seafood and meat.
