Vitamin D fortification in breakfast cereals
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has released a consultation paper on its review of a decision to permit the voluntary addition of vitamin D to breakfast cereals.
Last year the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation1 (Forum) asked FSANZ to review its decision in relation to draft variations to Schedule 17 — Vitamins and Minerals arising from Application A1090.
Before completing the review, FSANZ analysed the impact on public health, breakfast cereal manufacturers and consumers of applying a nutrient profile tool to the previously recommended voluntary fortification of breakfast cereal with vitamin D.
FSANZ is now seeking submissions, including evidence, on the impact of the proposed drafting amendments.
