Kahui Kounga Kai meet with FSANZ
Kahui Kounga Kai (Maori reference group) and FSANZ held the first of three hui (meetings) at Apumoana Marae, Rotorua in February.
The morning session of the hui centred around the recent work of the Kahui and discussion of the FSANZ process, while the afternoon session focused on communicating to Maori. Discussion looked at various ways to raise awareness to Maori of the importance of food standards, the importance of Maori involvement in the food standards setting process, widening Maori networks and utilising a variety of media to reach Maori.
Subsequent hui will be held in Gisborne and Wellington over the next two months.
The outcomes from discussions at all the hui will be moulded into a communications strategy to be undertaken by Kahui in association with FSANZ over the next financial year.
