Show Notes
Australian farmers, including soybean growers like Peter Howlett, are grappling with cheap imported produce threatening their industries. The current food labeling laws are under scrutiny, with growers like Judy Plath questioning the transformation loophole that allows processed soy to be shipped back as Australian-made. The Australian Made logo has rules split between food and non-food, causing confusion for consumers. Minister Tim Ayres is monitoring the laws, with mandatory seafood labeling set for July 2026. Experts call for an update to the labeling system to help consumers support local farmers without confusion.
