Andrew Hoggard: Food Safety Minister on the move to change food export regulations

The government is considering a move to scrap regulation on food exporters.  They’ve opened consultation on a proposal to allow exporters to manage the process for meeting food standards for the country the food's being sent to, rather than having to meet New Zealand's requirements.  Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard told Mike Hosking that the dairy industry has long been calling for the change.  He says New Zealand red tape has seen exporters missing out on market opportunities and this is a quick fix.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
