RNZ reports he's facing criticism after his sister advised his office against introducing tougher regulation of baby formula - she's the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand executive director.
Hoggard and other ministers were lobbied by companies opposing transtasman infant formula standards.
A spokesperson from Minister Hoggard's office, says specific conflicts aren't generally released publicly.
They say the fact that a Minister's conflict of interest wasn't published doesn't mean it wasn't disclosed.
