Traffic Light Labelling Would Have Met Consumer Needs
Consumers are confused. So many claims abound on food
products that knowing what is good, better or indifferent is a complex task.
And when shopping, time is of essence. Analysing each product, the claims it

It seems they have entered into an arrangement with Blackmores, manufacturer of dietary supplements, whereby they will promote their products at point-of-sale. This has been compared by some to the upselling practices of fast food outlets.
This arrangement acts to destroy one of the most trusted brands in Australia, and that brand is “pharmacists.”
