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 “What is the difference between a ‘plant based’, ‘vegan’ or ‘natural’ claim?”
examines the
similarities and differences between these three claims, scenarios where one
claim might be more appropriate than the others, and issues businesses should
consider to reduce their risk.
In “What requirements apply to using your home kitchen as a food business?” we
examine the regulatory requirements for Australian home-based food businesses,
provide tips for businesses looking to use home facilities, and address recent carve-outs
for some home-based food businesses in New Zealand.
In “Updated NSW Food Regulation 2025: New requirements for New South Wales food businesses”,
we explore important changes for Australian food businesses arising from new
food regulations in New South Wales, as well as sector-specific implications.
We hope you
