LICENCE, DISCLAIMER, COPYRIGHT AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE

Licence

The Nutrition Panel Calculator you seek to access, which incorporates the Australian Food and Nutrient Database for Nutrition Labelling - Release 3 (AUSNUT Special Edition (3)), is licensed only on the condition that you agree to the terms and conditions set out below.  Please read these terms and conditions carefully.  If you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions, you should click on the box at the bottom of this page labelled ' Agree ', at which time the Nutrition Panel Calculator will be accessible by your computer.  If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions, you should click on the box at the bottom of this page labelled ' I Disagree ', at which point you will return to the FSANZ home page without the Nutrition Panel Calculator being accessed.

Disclaimer

FSANZ makes this Nutrition Panel Calculator available on the understanding that users exercise their own skill, care and judgement with respect to its use.

FSANZ makes no warranty that the results generated by the Nutrition Panel Calculator will be free from error, or if used will ensure compliance with the relevant requirements of the Food Standards Code. Before relying on the results generated by the Nutrition Panel Calculator in any important matter, you should carefully evaluate the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the results for your purposes, and should obtain appropriate expert advice relevant to your particular circumstances.

By accessing this Nutrition Panel Calculator, you acknowledge that in no event shall FSANZ be liable for any incidental or consequential damages resulting from its use.

FSANZ alerts you to the inherent limitations in the Nutrition Panel Calculator. Food composition tables used in the Nutrition Panel Calculator contain nutrient data that is an average of nutrients in a particular sample of foods and ingredients, determined at a particular time. The nutrient composition of foods and ingredients can vary substantially over different batches, and between brands because of a number of factors including changes in season, processing practices and ingredient source in addition, the data files used in the Nutrition Panel Calculator were originally developed not for the purpose of calculating nutrition panels, but for evaluating public health data, where minor variations in values and the use of approximation have no significant impact.  

You should be aware that given these limitations, the results generated by the Nutrition Panel Calculator will only ever be approximate in nature, rather than exactly reflective of your product's average nutrient composition. Nutrient data derived from analysis of a representative sample of your individual products would generally provide a more exact reflection of the average nutritional composition of your products.
