Regulatory nutrient reference values

Regulatory nutrient reference values Nutrient reference values (NRVs) indicate the daily amount of nutrients (energy, macro-nutrients, vitamins, minerals) required for good health, as well as an upper safe level of nutrient intake. The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the New Zealand Ministry of Health released a comprehensive set of NRVs for Australia and New Zealand in 2006. A further update of reference values for sodium and fluoride was published in 2017. The 2006 NRVs replaced the previous Recommended Dietary Intakes for Use in Australia (RDIs) which were published in 1991 and adopted by New Zealand. These RDIs together with other government recommendations, and certain United States ESADDIs (Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intakes) (1989) are currently…

Plain English Allergen Labelling: One year of clearer, safer food labels

Plain English Allergen Labelling: One year of clearer, safer food labels This time last year Plain English Allergen Labelling (PEAL) requirements became mandatory across Australia and New Zealand. These changes, developed under Proposal P1044, transformed how allergens are declared on food labels, making them easier to identify and understand for millions of consumers. FSANZ approved the new requirements in 2021 after extensive consultation and evidence gathering. The goal was to clearly declare allergens using simple, consistent terms in a standardised format. Businesses had three years to transition and since 25 February 2024, food labels have had to comply with the PEAL requirements. Thousands…

Nanotechnology and Food

Nanotechnology and Food What is nanotechnology? Nanotechnology describes a range of technologies used to manipulate materials that are generally less than 100 nanometres (nm) in size in one dimension. One nm is one billionth of a metre. Are nanotechnologies being used in foods? There is little evidence to suggest nanotechnologies are being used in the food industry on a wide scale, although a lot of research is being undertaken on potential applications. Future applications of nanotechnologies could include nanostructured food products, nanoscale or nano-encapsulated food additives, or food packaging with improved properties. There are, however, certain foods including food additives that naturally contain nanoscale particles.  Are nanoscale materials new? Nanoscale materials are not new. Food is…

Call for comment on food made from a new genetically modified canola

Call for comment on food made from a new genetically modified canola Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to allow food from a new genetically modified (GM) canola. The application seeks approval to permit food derived from canola line LBFLFK which has been genetically modified to produce omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) and for tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides. If approved, the canola could be imported into Australia and New Zealand as refined oil or as an ingredient within a food. FSANZ CEO Dr Sandra Cuthbert said the oil could be used as an ingredient in food products to provide an alternative source of dietary omega-3 LC-PUFAs, which are not found in measurable levels in non-GM canola.    “Our safety assessment found no potential…

Cell-based meat

Cell-based meat What is cell-based meat? Cell-based meat is produced using animal cell culture technology, where meat is produced from animal cells using a combination of biotechnology, tissue engineering, molecular biology and synthetic processes. Cell culture technology does not reproduce the animal itself, but produces a product that is intended to resemble traditional meat from an animal, such as steak, minced meat, etc. Technology has advanced to a stage where this is possible, so companies are increasingly exploring cell-based meat options as an alternative to farmed meat. Is cell-based meat the same as plant-based meat alternatives? No. Plant-based meat alternatives are made from plants and plant-based proteins and produced to look and taste like traditional meat, despite…
