3. In
this October 2025 edition of FoodLegal Bulletin
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 “Will there be prescriptive labelling requirements for e-commerce sales in Australia and New Zealand?” examines how a new policy paper by food regulators could
change future regulation of online food sales, and the likely implications for
e-commerce platforms, retailers and food brands that sell products online.
In “How choice of laboratory can impact substantiation and verification of a marketing claim” we explore how any FMCG businesses can reduce non-compliance risks
when relying on product analytical testing to substantiating claims.
In “Postbiotics: Features and practical applications in food product development and marketing”, we address the latest science and the
key features of postbiotics, including how they differ from prebiotics, their
practical applications in food product development, and issues for businesses
to be aware of when making marketing claims.
We hope you
enjoy this October 2025 edition of FoodLegal Bulletin!
