Just making a product in New Zealand is not enough to earn it a "New Zealand made" label, the Commerce Commission has warned.
The Commerce Commission took New Zealand Nutritionals to court for making misleading claims about two of its dietary supplements.
NZ Nutritionals was found to have made misleading claims by stating on the labels of Vitafit Goats' Milk Powder and Pro-life Goats' Milk and Calcium Tablets that the products were "100 per cent New Zealand made" when all the active ingredients, including the goats' milk powder, were imported from overseas.
NZ Nutritionals argued that the representations were not misleading because the manufacturing process had occurred in New Zealand. They said that the statements on the labels were not representations about where the goat's milk powder was sourced.
But the judge ruled the labels were misleading because a reasonable person would take from them that the product was made from New Zealand goats' milk that had been processed into powder in New Zealand.
有些保健品上都写了这句话,仔细看看就能找到,其实我还是更放心那些老实自己标注出来的,至少比外包装弄得天花乱坠的好很多,比如Good XXXXX的很多产品在成分标注的下方就有:
Formulated, tested and manufactured in New Zealand from imported ingredients.作者: nb0580 时间: 2016-5-4 10:13:58
其中有一段话:
If the product is produced in New Zealand from virtually all New Zealand components then there is little risk in claiming that such a product is 'New Zealand made'. However, if important components are imported or if part of the manufacturing process is undertaken off shore, then a 'New Zealand made' claim risks breaching the Act. However, depending on the product or the nature of the manufacturing process some such products may be legitimately described as 'Made in New Zealand'.

如果一个在新西兰生产的产品,本质上都由新西兰的原料制造,标注'New Zealand made'没有多大的法律风险;
如果一个在新西兰生产的产品,其中有重要原料是进口,或者直接在海外制造,标注'New Zealand made'就有违反公平交易法(Fair Trading Act 1986)的风险;然而,取决于产品本身的属性或者制造流程,这类产品中有一些可以被合法地描述为“Made in New Zealand”。
我的理解就是:“New Zealand Made”是指绝大多数原料来源于新西兰、制造又在新西兰完成‘;“Made in New Zealand”是在新西兰制造即可;“Product of New Zealand”暂时还没找到相关规定,如果没有,那就思及极恐了,难道只要是个新西兰公司就随意可以用?作者: leecooper 时间: 2016-5-4 11:33:59
