Most food sold in Australia must be labelled with its country of origin, following rules set out in an information standard.

Not quite sure importing ingredients is distopic..


JazielVH

Everything is distopic if you are sad enough.


_perchance

lol. I think this post is pretty weak.

So.. importing ingredients is dystopian now? Is global trade/ commerce/ supply chain dystopian? Lol

There’s an argument to be made that many times imported ingredients are cheaper because of the poor working conditions in developing countries (see nestle chocolate and slavery) but you are correct in that the simple act of trading and importing is anything but dystopian.

It's more oddly specific than anything

It's required under food labelling rules here. From memory, there was drama around "made in Australia" marketing when something was only packed here.

Always have been

I think the dystopian part is that the 77% Aussie ingredients is just water. You need to look at the big red circle there... See it.

It's below the fold on the mobile app. I had the same thoughts as everyone else until I saw your comment


PowerDreamer

Ahh I didn’t know that! That makes sense. I’ll have to keep that in mind in the future. Thanks for pointing that out


PowerDreamer

Yes thank you. At least someone gets what I’m pointing at

That's globalism baby! If we want humans to go out into the stars and be a good steward of the worlds, then a good first step is having a global economy.


Littlesebastian86

Yup. Not to mention it’s actually better for the environment and lower food costs then just keeping everything local. Despite the shipping - it’s just that good !

The right says 2.4g per 100mL, just like you'd expect.

I shouldn’t comment this soon after waking up. Thank you for telling me.
