In this FoodLegal Bulletin, our FREE article “Current developments in food law and policy in Australia and internationally”
updates the latest in regulatory developments and news.
In “Will mandatory Health Star Ratings become the next stage of the anti-sugar war?”, we discuss calls to make Health Star Ratings
mandatory on public policy grounds, and some of the problems that would need to
be overcome.
In “‘‘Green cartels’: How food businesses can have successful sustainability collaboration in compliance with ACCC requirements” we explore the issues food businesses should
be aware of when collaborating on sustainability initiatives, following recent
ACCC guidance.
In “Using databases to make nutrition content claims”, we address the choices and potential variability and differences
between Australian and international databases when being used to validate
nutritional values for a food product.
We hope you
