Take action

Agrochemical companies cannot be trusted to self-assess their products, and FSANZ should maintain its legislated responsibility to ensure the safety of our food. We also have the right to know how our food is produced.

Demand that FSANZ abandons this attempt to undermine food safety and our right to know what’s in our food.
