THE COST OF CONFUSING FOOD LABELS

RESEACH from RMIT University and End Food Waste Australia shows that confusing and inconsistent food labels are causing Australians to throw away edible food, costing households up to $2,500 annually. Australians waste 7.6 million tonnes of food each year, much of it still safe to eat. Clearer labels with simple icons and storage advice could significantly cut waste. Experts urge government, retailers, and producers to collaborate on a national labelling framework, which could prevent nearly a million tonnes of waste by 2030.
