Code Assistance
The Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) will change the way manufacturers and retailers make and present food for sale.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), has developed a range of resources to hrlp food businesses comply with the Code.
These resources include:
- User Guides - these incorporate extensive interpretation and compliance advice for manufacturers and retailers on key standards, including worked examples in many cases.
- Nutrition Panel Calculator - a web-based Nutrition Panel Calculator (NPC) has been developed to simplify the calculation of mandatory nutrition labels required for most food under the Code.
- Food Enforcement Contacts- for State, Territory and New Zealand health department officials who can provide advice on the new standards.

Health Departments in a number of Australian States/Territories and New Zealand have also established resources and activities to help food businesses interpret and comply with the Code. Contact details for government agencies dealing with food can also be found under ' Food' in the Government Index of your White Pages phone directory.
