Inquiry continues to examine food & beverage consumption in Aust
At the eighth public hearing for the inquiry into food & beverage manufacturing in Australia, the House Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Resources plans to hear from a range of stakeholders in Victoria. This includes representatives from an independent think tank on alternative proteins and an advocacy group working to improve diets and prevent obesity in Australia.
Being held on Wednesday, 7 August 2024, La Trobe University, Australian Dairy Products Federation, Independent Brewers Association, Food for Health Alliance, Food Frontier, AUSVEG, Starward/New World Whisky Distillery and Pact Group will serve as witnesses for the inquiry.
Committee Chair Rob Mitchell MP said: “The committee has held multiple public hearings across the country to find out more about what it is like to be an Australian food & beverage manufacturer. At this final interstate hearing, the committee looks forward to continuing to hear from local manufacturers, as well as stakeholders from the academic, health, and recycling & packaging sectors.”
The committee will conduct further public hearings in Canberra during August 2024.
