ACCC moves further into the food regulatory space with yoghurt infringement

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission recently took action against a yoghurt manufacturer for an issue that represented a clear breach of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

We also highlight other instances where the Food Standards Code has been used to support action brought by non-food regulators.
