Review of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 - 16 Nov 2020

Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA) made a submission to Public Consultation - Scoping Paper on the Review of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991.

A&AA has responded to the discussion questions and the reform ideas predominately as they relate to FSANZ’s approach to food allergens and persons with one or more food allergy. Some comments are of a more diverse nature and are relevant to all foods, food standards and FSANZ’s existing and proposed roles generally, but nonetheless impact on food allergy issues.
