Safe food for life

Food safety is our business. FSANZ has set the standards for safe food in Australia and New Zealand for more than 25 years. Our work is at the heart of the world class bi-national food regulation system, ensuring consumers in both countries can be confident the food they buy is safe to eat. 

Have your say!

FSANZ conducts public consultations on proposed food standards. We welcome feedback from stakeholders and the broader community on applications and proposals to change the Food Standards Code.
