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 and also in
relation to any particular products.
In “Will the objectives of the mandatory Health Star Rating be limited by its usage on products ‘as consumed’?”, we explore anomalies in how the
proposed mandatory Health Star Rating would apply to products at point of sale
and at the point of consumption.
In “The regulation of water in food production and labelling”, we provide an overview of the various
regulatory requirements and considerations that apply to the use of water in
food manufacturing.
In “The impact of FSANZ Proposal P1066 for toddler milk products” we examine the proposed changes and how they
could impact the toddler milk suppliers, including the significant restrictions
which FSANZ proposes to introduce on marketing of toddler milks.
