FSANZ strengthens role in global food standards development
FSANZ strengthens role in global food standards development Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) plays an important role in shaping global food standards, leading Australia’s participation in several key international committees within the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex).

We hear you – Let’s clear up the confusion around food date labels
We hear you – Let’s clear up the confusion around food date labels Our 2023 Consumer Insights Tracker (CIT) survey found up to a third of Australian and New Zealand consumers are unclear about the meaning of date marks.

Foods with a use-by date shouldn’t be eaten or sold after that date, as they could pose a health…

Call for comment on a processing aid for use in food
Call for comment on a processing aid for use in food Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for comment on an application to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to permit the use of a processing aid for the production of short-chain fructooligosaccharides (sc-FOS) from sucrose. The proposed use of immobilised fructosyltransferase from a non-genetically engineered strain of Aspergillus oryzae (A.oryzae) as a processing aid in food is technologically justified in the quantity and form proposed. FSANZ's assessment found no safety concerns with using this enzyme from A. oryzae. Similar enzymes from other sources have a long history of safe use in food. To have your say about this proposal, visit the FSANZ Consultation Hub.…
