Consumers, food industry representatives, farmers… lots of people read our information. We want to know more about our stakeholders to make sure you are all getting the information you need. Help us learn more about you! Take our short survey here.
 
As part of the government response to the 2011 Labelling Logic Report, FSANZ has submitted reports on recommendations 6, 12 and 47 to the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation. You can read more about these reports here: Recommendation 12,
Recommendation 6 and Recommendation 47.
 
For more information on FSANZ’s work on the other recommendations, see our Labelling Review webpage.
 

 
In November FSANZ added new information to the list of foods that have risks associated with their importation into Australia. The updated advice covers foods including seafood, sesame seeds, spices, coconut and bean curd. Read the new information on our website
 
 
Food safety culture in an organisation is how everyone (owners, managers, employees) thinks and acts in their job to make sure that the food they make or serve is safe. It’s about having pride in producing safe food every time and making that your top priority.
 
Find our easy to use resources on food safety culture on our websites.
 

 
FSANZ would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Stay food-safe during the festive season by following these tips from the Food Safety Information Council (after all no one wants to receive the gift of food poisoning!).

Our offices will be closed from Christmas Eve and we will reopen on Tuesday 3 January 2016.
 
 
FSANZ has completed an administrative assessment and accepted the following application. An opportunity to comment will be available at a later date which will be publicly notified.
 

FSANZ is calling for submissions on the following applications:
  • A1134 – Increased Concentration of Plant Sterols in Breakfast Cereals: to amend current novel food permissions for phytosterols added to breakfast cereals to allow increased concentrations for portion-controlled breakfast cereals, in either individually wrapped portions or portions that can be easily divided.
     
  • A1123 – Isomalto-oligosaccharide as a Novel Food: seeks to amend the Food Standards Code to permit isomalto-oligosaccharide as a novel food to be used as an alternative (lower calorie) sweetener and bulk filler in a range of general purpose and special purpose foods.
     
  • Changes to cost recovery arrangements: FSANZ is proposing an increase in its hourly charge to reflect government policy for full cost recovery, changed levels within the general procedure and a reduced administrative charge.
