Proposals

Proposals are prepared by FSANZ to consider changes to the Food Standards Code.  Current proposals are listed below. Completed proposals (including those that have been withdrawn and rejected) are listed separately.   

Check the status of a proposal by viewing the FSANZ Work Plan which is updated regularly to reflect timing and any upcoming consultation opportunities.

All proposal documents and submissions are published online, where possible. Large documents may be unavailable due to file size restrictions. In these cases, contact standards.management@foodstandards.gov.au to organise a CD to be sent to you. Visit our Information Publication Scheme page for more information.
