Talley's Boycott Petition

#22: -  

 Hi Pauline we do have a link to Talley's website which has a small sample of their products. Unfortunately our efforts to seek disclosure from govt agencies relating to 'private brands' which Talley's are involved in processing & packaging, some cases probably owned.too,  That requires law changes.Here is a response to one of 5 agencies we contacted.

Thank you for your email. Sorry for the delay is getting back to you. I have spoken with an advisor, and they advised the following: 

The Food Standards Code requires a label on packaged foods to state the name and address in New Zealand or Australia of the supplier of the food.

 The “supplier” is defined as the packer. manufacturer, vendor or importer of the food in question

There is no obligation on a Private Label company to identify who is manufacturing / packing the product on their behalf. Name and address of the Private Label company (being the Vendor) would meet the code requirements.

So in answer to your question. They do not need to state that the products come from Talleys.

As ar as meats goesTalley's Affco provide Beef & Lamb. The Mad Butcher stocks mostly Talley's meats so they are out for us.

Back to promoting boycotting Talley's products, we have to be very careful of getting our facts right or litigation happy Talley's will not hesitate to have us from defamation and lose of earnings. Fortunately we have a group if lawyers that assite our cause :).

We have not received one complaint from any of the 8000 employees that work for them, so till such time as we do it is business as usual.

Hope this clears a few things up for you. 

Thanks for your ssupport, much appreciated :)
