Application to add vitamins and minerals to nut- and seed-based beverages
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has received an application seeking permission to voluntarily add vitamins and minerals to nut- and seed-based beverages.
FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said that under the current Food Standards Code, vitamins and minerals can be added to legume-based and cereal-based beverages.
“The range and amount of vitamins and minerals that can be added and claim limits would be the same as those for beverages containing no less than 0.3% m/m protein derived from cereals,” McCutcheon said.
FSANZ has invited submissions on the application from government agencies, public health professionals, industry and the community. The closing date for submissions is 6 October 2015.
