Food Standards Australia New Zealand

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) develops, reviews and maintains food standards in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code to protect public health and safety, provide a framework in which the food industry can operate effectively and support informed consumer choice. This includes setting regulatory requirements for the use of food ingredients, processing aids, additives, colours, vitamins and minerals, establishing risk‑based labelling requirements (such as mandatory warnings and advisory statements), promoting harmonisation of food standards between Australia and New Zealand and with international standards, and coordinating national food incident responses and food recalls in partnership with state and territory governments in Australia.
