It's been mandatory since 2018 because there was so much problems going on with origin sourcing.
But what they didn't do was they didn't make it mandatory for the food service sector, which supplies restaurants, hotels, fish and chip shops, hospitals and aged care.
That's only now come under the same requirements.
They've had more than two years to come into line and it came into effect on July 1.
What Saw Certain did, they obtained 19 pieces of frozen farmed prawns and whitefish from three major food service distributors.
And one of the three prawn products sold as Australian failed origin testing.
The farmed whitefish was even more problematic.
Yeah, so out of the 11 brands that were tested, three brands failed and they were sent to a second lab for further investigation.
One of them was the well-known Hoyts brand.
It's one of the best-known spice brands in Australia.
It is an Australian company based in Melbourne.
They identified it contained a lead-based yellow pigment which is used in paint and plastics and it's not allowed to be used in Australia.
The other brand, Gourmet Organic Turmeric, was found to be bulked with a cheaper starchy plant ingredient so it wasn't pure turmeric.
And Simply Organic, the third brand, also wasn't pure turmeric.
What did the company say about that?
Hoyt said it takes these matters really seriously and was going to carry out some further investigations.
It said it believed any metals in the turmeric are at safe levels.
Gourmet Organic said it was commissioning its own testing and that honesty is integral to its business.
It said some additional plant matter is normal in milled spices and it wanted to stress that.
Simply Organic didn't respond to our questions.
