Country of Origin
Most food products for retail sale in Australia require a Country of Origin Label (CoOL). It identifies the percentage of ingredients that are sourced from overseas.
An example of the three-component graphic is shown on the rightabove.

At D’Orsogna, we use both Australian and imported ingredients to create consistently high-quality and flavoursome products at the best possible price.
Pork is very popular in Australia. A little known fact is while our pork producers play an essential part in the Australian agricultural industry, they do not produce enough pork to satisfy local demand. To meet this domestic demand, meat processors like D’Orsogna import raw materials to bridge the gap.
D’Orsogna only sources Pork from Australia, and the Australian Government approved Pork suppliers ** in North America and Western Europe. The Australian Department of Agriculture governs imported meat quality and standards.
