Responses to Media

NZFSA has a duty to consumers of New Zealand food to ensure they know the truth about the safety of that food. From time to time, there are statements made in the media that are incorrect. NZFSA replies to these and asks that mistakes be corrected. Sometimes those corrections are not made, or the responses edited. The original replies are posted here so that consumers can access all the facts. NZFSA also publishes media releases.
