26  Imported foods that have Australian ingredients

(1)           This section applies to food if:

           (a)           Division 3 does not apply (this is therefore food that was grown, produced, made or packaged in a country other than Australia); and

           (b)           some or all of the food's ingredients were grown, produced or made in Australia.

(2)           If the food is made in a country other than Australia, but the food's ingredients are exclusively of Australian origin, the labelling may include one of the following marks:

where 'C' is the name of the relevant country.

(3)           If some, but not all of the food's ingredients by weight are Australian, the labelling may include one of the following marks:

where:

           (a)           'BC' is the appropriate bar chart to represent P% of Australian ingredients (see section 10); and

           (b)           'X' is the phrase 'Made in', 'Packed in' or 'Packaged in', as appropriate; and

           (c)           'Y' is the word 'Made' or the kind of food, as appropriate; and

           (d)           'C' is the name of the relevant country, or the adjectival form of that name, as appropriate; and

           (e)           'P%', in which P is a whole number, is not more than the proportion by weight of the Australian ingredients of the food.

(4)           If less than 10% of the food's ingredients by weight are Australian, the labelling may include one of the following marks:

where:

           (a)           'X' is the phrase 'Grown in', 'Produced in', 'Produce of', 'Product of', 'Made in', 'Packed in' or 'Packaged in', as appropriate; and

           (b)           'Y' is the word 'Grown', 'Produce', 'Product', 'Made' or the kind of food, as appropriate; and

           (c)           'C' is the name of the relevant country, or the adjectival form of that name, as appropriate.

Reference in mark to an ingredient from a particular country

(5)           In a mark required or permitted under this section, other than subsection 26(2), a phrase may be added at the end that names one or more of the ingredients of the food and specifies the country of origin of each ingredient named, provided:

           (a)           the phrase starts with the word 'with'; and

           (b)           each ingredient named originates exclusively in the country specified as the origin of that ingredient.

Examples: 'Made in New Zealand from less than 10% Australian ingredients with New Zealand lamb and Australian rosemary and mint'

'Packed in Mexico from at least 20% Australian ingredients with almonds from the United States of America, pecans from Canada, and macadamias from Australia'

'Made in Vietnam from at least 10% Australian ingredients with prawns from Thailand'
