All health and nutrition claims must now meet the new standard


Monday, 01 February, 2016

For the three years preceding 18 January, food companies could quite legally comply with either the old nutrition and health claims standard or the new one. But the transition period is now over and now companies must comply with the new standard.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has published a guidance document, which has been prepared by food regulators and is on the FSANZ website, which will help businesses decide whether or not they can make nutrition or health claims.

The following links may be useful in helping companies ensure that they understand and meet the new regulations.
