Labelling requirements for irradiated foods under review
Ministers responsible for food regulation have asked Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) to review the labelling requirements for irradiated foods.
While no change to current requirements is being proposed at this stage, FSANZ is keen to get feedback from industry stakeholders.
FSANZ has just released a consultation paper on the existing requirements and is seeking submissions on a range of technical and economic issues related to the mandatory requirements and how information about food irradiation is communicated to consumers.
The closing date for submissions is 29 March 2016. Following this consultative period, FSANZ anticipates providing a report to ministers in the second half of 2016.
