Don Wee on Food Safety and Security Bill
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday (Jan 8), MP Don Wee expressed support for the Food Safety and Security Bill and its comprehensive updates to food safety legislation, but urged the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment to carefully consider the concerns of households, small business owners and home-based operators. Noting the new limits of 15kg of food imports for private consumption, he highlighted the co-related risk of heightened biosecurity threats and wanted to know what measures the ministry will implement to prevent the entry of contaminated or non-compliant food products.
