Progressive’s Country of Origin Labelling Programme
The vast majority of whole sourced fresh food products sold in Foodtown, Woolworths and Countdown stores is New Zealand
sourced.
For example over the last 12 months our stores have sold:
• 100% NZ fresh whole sourced chicken
• 100% NZ fresh whole sourced seafood
• 98% NZ fresh whole sourced meat
• 78% NZ fresh whole sourced fruit and vegetables
Progressive Enterprises Limited has also had in place for sometime a proactive ‘Best Practice Policy’ of labelling
Country of Origin on all imported fresh fruit and vegetables and will also look to work with our suppliers to implement
this for any imported whole sourced fresh seafood and meat.
