Proposal P1060 - Egg Food Safety and Primary Production Requirements

On 17 September 2025, the FSANZ Board approved changes to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to strengthen national standards for egg production and processing.

The updates are designed to better manage the risk of Salmonella, including Salmonella Enteritidis (SE), in Australia’s egg supply.

Australian food ministers now have 60 days to consider FSANZ's decision. If no review is requested, the changes will be gazetted and come into effect.
