Welcome to the October 2022 edition of FoodLegal Bulletin!

1.    FoodLegal Ingredients for Success Workshop

In this 2-hour online workshop, we look at the problems and solutions in constructing an ingredient list for a product label, including adding different vitamins, minerals, and additives to foods, and 'best practice' to meet compliance for different statements of ingredients.

Tickets are available for Wednesday 26 October – book here.

 

2.    In this October 2022 edition of FoodLegal Bulletin

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 “How the choice of ingredient name can significantly impact regulatory risk” we identify some of the important issues that food businesses should be aware of when naming or describing their ingredients.

In “Should you list the same allergen in the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statement?”, we consider a potential anomaly brought about by Plain English Allergen Labelling (PEAL) laws and consider some of the options by which businesses can address this issue without compromising product safety.

In “New Standards for Australian berry, leafy vegetable and melon producers and processors”, we examine the context and consequences of new Primary Production and Processing requirements inserted in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code for horticultural products.

In “The implications of the new Poultry Welfare Standards on chicken and poultry farming in Australia” we discuss the requirements that will apply to commercial poultry processors once new animal welfare provisions are incorporated into law.

We hope you enjoy this October 2022 edition of FoodLegal Bulletin!
