Our FREE article “Current developments in food law and policy in Australia and internationally” provides the latest regulatory developments and updates. There have been many news developments over the past month and it is vital to read these updates. FoodLegal can advise businesses on the impact of specific updates to their particular situation.

The article “Tips and traps for online marketing following latest ACCC actions” explores some of the key risk areas to consider when selling online, and outlines tips for businesses when developing and rolling out their online marketing.

In “Is New Zealand moving away from a bi-national food regulatory framework with Australia?” we examine the history of joint food regulation between Australia and New Zealand, and some of the important current carve-outs from the bi-national approach, and what this means for businesses selling our sourcing foods in Australia and New Zealand.

In “Genetically modified food, most recent changes in Australian approval processes”, we compare the separate processes of the two separate frameworks for genetically modified ingredients, and the implications these have on food business compliance obligations.

We hope you enjoy this September 2025 edition of FoodLegal Bulletin!
