"New Labeling Rule Hits Menus: Where's Your Seafood From? Restaurants across Australia will be making a significant change to their menus starting July 1, with diners now entitled to know the origin of their seafood. The federal government has implemented a new labeling requirement, mandating that seafood products be identified as either 'A' for Australian, 'I' for imported, or 'M' for mixed. This move aims to provide consumers with greater transparency and control over their food choices, particularly in the wake of growing concerns about the sustainability and provenance of seafood.
