Tell us what you think

FSANZ is running a Stakeholder Satisfaction and Engagement survey to find out how you think we are performing in our key role of developing food standards, your understanding of our role and how well we communicate. Take the survey

PFAS documents

On 3 April 2017 the outcomes of a review by FSANZ, Perfluorinated Chemicals in Food, was released by the Australian Government. The review was held to determine the recommended tolerable daily intake values (TDI) for people potentially exposed to the contaminants collectively known as perfluoroalkyated (PFAS) substances.
 
You can find the FSANZ documents on the Department of Health website.

How to recall food

FSANZ coordinates and monitors food recalls in Australia. Recalls occur as a result of consultation between state and territory governments and a sponsor (usually the food product's manufacturer or importer).
 
To find out how to conduct a recall check out the How to recall food page on our website. 
 

Country of origin food labeling:
a guide for businesses

The guide is aimed at suppliers of food for retail sale in Australia (including manufacturers, processors and importers), and features information about adhering to the existing requirements for country of origin labelling set out in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code and what businesses need to do to transition to the new requirements on 1 July 2018.
