Even Australian consumers and cattlemen/farmers want and are getting M-COOL... Looks like Canadian cattlemen and hog farmers are about the only ones not proud enough of their product to want it labeled...

There is growing frustration at the slow roll-out of new food labels, designed to tell shoppers how much of a product is grown in Australia.



The Federal Government says the new 'Australian Grown' logo is expected to be in use later this year.


David Gartrell was a member of the committee set up to review current labelling laws.



He says the new system was ready to go in December and is now questioning the motives behind the delay in releasing it.



"I think they are certainly using it as an election tool as well, but fair enough, as long as they get into it now and move," he said.



"One of the things ... was it is being submitted to the ACCC for final approval, which is strange because the ACCC sat in on all these workshops.
