New Zealand's opposing proposals for infant formula label changes while Australia is adopting them. 

Dairy industry groups raised concern it could impact exports of the product. 

Ministers from both countries met to discuss the proposal written by the collective Food Standards Authority.

Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard sought a review but failed. 

He told Mike Hosking he didn't expect he'd be successful.

Hoggard said that asking for a review is unusual, and is hardly ever agreed to, but he decided to fight the good fight anyway.
