ICCC issues ban on non-English labelled products

The Independent Consumer and Competition Commission (ICCC) has taken steps to further address food labelling and product safety in PNG, banning non-English labeled products.

The decision to impose an interim ban on food products labeling, under its consumer protection division, is to ensure consumers have access to basic product information.

The 18-month interim ban on non-English labelled food products was set since March 31, 2016, and will run until September 17, 2017.
