This project was funded with a voluntary contribution from Harvest Freshcuts and by
Horticulture Australia Ltd. This project aimed to firstly clarify the food labelling guidelines
which were complex and under review. It then collected data that could be used to support
a nutrient claim label on fresh cut spinach and rocket taking into account the change in
nutrient content as a result of growing season and postharvest storage. In addition some
consumer focus groups were run to determine how best to present this information to
consumers.
