EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND STATEMENT OF REASONS
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has previously prepared three minor omnibus Proposals (P245, P254 and P262) to correct errors that raise issues of minor significance or complexity only, in Volume 2 of the Food Standards Code (Volume 2). The Final Assessment reports for P245 and P254 were considered and agreed by the ANZFA Board in February 2002 and June 2002 respectively. The Final Assessment report for P262 was considered and agreed by the FSANZ Board in October 2002.
This Proposal, P266 is the fourth minor amendments omnibus. It has been initiated to correct errors that raise issues of minor significance or complexity only, identified since adoption of Volume 2 that were not included in the previous three related proposals. The proposed amendments are intended to correct minor errors such as inconsistencies, misspellings, grammatical errors including clarifications, omissions and to update certain items.
Under section 36 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991, (FSANZ Act) the Authority has decided to omit one round of public consultation as it is satisfied that the Proposal raises issues of minor significance and complexity only.
Conclusion and Statement of Reasons
- The proposed draft variations contained in this Proposal have been prepared to correct errors that raise issues of minor significance or complexity only, identified since the adoption of Volume 2 of the Food Standards Code.
This will ensure that Volume 2 is as clear, correct and precise as is possible.
