New Zealand Food Safety (MPI) recently published a new webpage to help raise consumer awareness about the risks of buying food online and how to shop safely.
The webpage provides practical tips and guidance on:
- choosing trusted sellers;
- checking product information and food labels;
- ensuring food is packaged and delivered safely; and
- what to do is unsafe food is suspected.
Buying food online is convenient, but not all sellers follow the same rules. This resource supports the goal of ensuring food sold in New Zealand is safe and suitable - whether it’s from a local business or overseas.
