New Zealand's Minister for Food Safety doesn't approve of some proposed changes impacting the distribution of infant formula.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand has written a lengthy proposal to overhaul formula regulations, including changes to how formula can be labelled and where it can be sold. 

Ministers from Australia and New Zealand will meet this week to discuss the proposal - which will come into effect unless a review is called for.

Minister Andrew Hoggard says he's not in favour of the suggested labelling requirement changes.
