Proposals to amend or develop food standards are a core part of our work.
Through proposals, we ensure the Food Standards Code remains fit for purpose, providing strong food safety and public health protections while enabling industry innovation.
We’ve just released our 2030 Roadmap for proposals work over the next 5 years, providing greater clarity and predictability for food regulation system stakeholders.
Endorsed by food ministers, the Roadmap aligns with the Food Regulation System Strategic Plan 2025–28, balancing proposals effort across its 4 strategic outcomes of safe and suitable food, a healthy food supply, informed and empowered consumers, and thriving food economies.
Work has already started on Health Star Ratings, young child formula and an evaluation framework. Delivery will be staged through to 2030, with regular updates to support transparency and ongoing engagement.
