I hope all you nzers know that my mum was instrumental in food labelling changes in the 80s. me and my sister were allergic to dairy - the rule then was that if it was under 5% you didn't have to put it on the ingredients list. after 2 anaphylactic shocks and a bunch of phone calls shit got changed
