We have released data on 2024 food recall statistics, offering key insights to support industry in managing food safety risks.

Science is at the heart of safe food - trust in our food system depends on it.

On 7 June 2025 we’re celebrating World Food Safety Day and the science behind our standards. 

At Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), we apply world-class science to protect public health, develop standards for industry and regulators and help consumers make informed choices. 

FSANZ and Health Canada have implemented a collaborative arrangement for the pre-market assessment of genetically modified (GM) foods. 

Check out our latest video for a simple overview of how we estimate dietary exposure to food chemicals and nutrients.

Strong international partnerships are essential to keeping national and global food systems safe, trusted and innovative.

FSANZ CEO Dr Sandra Cuthbert and Public Health Branch General Manager Christel Leemhuis recently joined more than 20 national and international food authority leaders at the sixth International Heads of Food Agencies Forum in Santiago, Chile.

The theme for this year’s forum was Innovation, Technology and Digital Transformation in Food Safety.
