Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code

Food Standards Australia and New Zealand is the body responsible for developing and administering the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. The Code lists requirements for foods such as food safety, additives, and food labelling. The current Food Standards Code is available online, and also lists related legislation

Along with the Code, the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand website includes additional information for the benefit of consumers and businesses, including understanding food allergies, nutrition, the process of recalling food, and creating a food safe culture.
