A summary of regulatory updates in Australia and internationally for the month of May 2022.
On 4 April 2022 Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) opened up their first call for submissions on FSANZ Proposal P1028 – Infant Formula. This article examines proposed changes to infant formula requirements in Australia and New Zealand, and how they could impact infant formula manufacturers and importers.
The introduction of the new so-called Plain English Allergen Labelling (PEAL) laws means that virtually all pre-packaged foods will have to update their allergen declarations in line with prescribed formatting and wording requirements. Exemptions to the PEAL requirements exist for food products that are not required to display a statement of ingredients. But does this mean that a food business that chooses to voluntary include an ingredients list on pack needs to comply with all of the PEAL requirements? This article explores this issue. FoodLegal offers training and advice on all PEAL requirements, and provide label assessment against the new PEAL requirements.
Most pre-packaged foods sold in Australia are required to comply with specific obligations relating to the calculation and representation of the trade measurements on the food product or packaging. This article explores the possible penalties and enforcement options that could be triggered when a food supplier or brand owner does not comply with the prescribed obligations.
