39378 (2026). Hon Rachel Brooking to the Minister for Food Safety: Does he stand by his statement that the consultation on the 28-day rule "will be about testing whether there genuinely is a food safety need for this rule or whether it's just an example of a silly rule that's just standing in the way of unlocking New Zealand's potential"; if so, is that the full scope of the review?
