The NZ Endocrine Society have released a statement calling for "the repeal of this unethical ban at the earliest opportunity". If it wasn't political, the govt would be listening to these expert statements. www.endocrinology.org.nz/nzse-positio...

I hope all you nzers know that my mum was instrumental in food labelling changes in the 80s. me and my sister were allergic to dairy - the rule then was that if it was under 5% you didn't have to put it on the ingredients list. after 2 anaphylactic shocks and a bunch of phone calls shit got changed
