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 our second FREE article “Identifying a crisis in
a food company before any food regulator involvement” we discuss
the importance of being able to identify a crisis event, even where no
regulator is involved.
In “The science behind ‘animal-free
dairy’ technologies”, FoodLegal Scientist Dr Sameera Sirisena explains
and reviews different technologies and concepts and ideas relating to the

In “Regulatory aspects to
consider for ‘animal-free milk’ in Australia”, we explore the unique
regulatory questions which arise when producing and supplying "animal-free
milk" in Australia.
In our article “How do new
EU regulations on recycled plastic impact packaging requirements in Australia?”, we discuss new packaging requirements
that have been introduced in the EU, and how they relate to food packaging for use
in Australia.
In our article “New US definition for
'healthy' foods: what foods can claim to be ‘healthy’ and how does it compare
with Australian requirements?”,
we examine the context and consequences of the proposed amendment to the US
definition of ‘healthy’ and compare this definition with the equivalent but
quite different regulatory requirements in Australia.
