Law targets food labelling
"Fat-free" takes on a new meaning this year. The South African Department of Health has gazetted new regulations for labelling and advertising food so that consumers have a better idea of what they're buying and eating.
The regulations meant that foodstuffs should be labelled, and what's on the label or in the advert must be an honest description of what you'll be eating, said department spokesman Fidel Hadebe.
