Food regulation and compliance workshop
The Australian Institute of Food Science Technology (AIFST) together with the Australian Food & Grocery Council (AFGC) will hold one-day events in Sydney and Melbourne in June to provide information about food regulation and compliance.
The first part of the day is a breakfast meeting, open only to AIFST and AFGC members, which will focus on the changes to the latest version of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

- Mandatory requirements - Food Standards Code and understanding the regulations and obligations of a food manufacturer.
- ACCC.
- Compliance and enforcement.
- Claims - health and premium.
- Product Information Form - how this can help with compliance.
