Addition of Apeel to fresh fruits and vegetables

Athina Andonatou made this Official Information request to Meka Whaitiri

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Meka Whaitiri should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Athina Andonatou

Dear Meka Whaitiri,
As a concerned NZ citizen I am requesting the following information:
What regulations allow the use of Apeel?
Are all products using Apeel technology identified to the consumer on a sticker showing INS 471 or E 471.or some other way?

I look forward to your response

Yours faithfully,
Athina

Dear correspondent

 

On behalf of Hon. Meka Whaitiri, thank you for your email.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email which is received.

 

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.

 

Thank you for taking the time to write.

 

(Please note that this acknowledgement is an automatically generated
email.)

 

Regards

 

Office of Hon Meka Whaitiri
