Dietitians Australia has submitted feedback to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) on the topic of infant formula standards (June 2022).

Sent February 2022 - Dietitians Australia and 23 other public health and consumer organisations wrote to the Food Ministers Meeting, the Hon Minister Greg Hunt and the Hon Mr Mark Butler about the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (FSANZ Act) review.

Released July 2021 - Call for the Australian Government to prioritise the health of Australians and New Zealanders as they consider reforms to our food regulatory system.

Implementing nation-wide menu labelling for pre-prepared food sold at takeaway outlets is just one way the Government can make it easier for Australians to put their health first.

Sent June 2021 - Dietitians Australia wrote to Senator the Hon Richard Colbeck, Chair of the Food Minister Meeting, with feedback on the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) Act reform approaches.

Released June 2021 - The lack of consistency in menu labelling standards across Australia and New Zealand creates health risks. It leads to uninformed choices by consumers. Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) play an important role in regulating the food system. They can support consumers to make healthy food choices.

Released June 2021 - The existing food regulatory system leaves Australians at risk of poor nutrition and wellbeing. Reforms to existing legislation and standards are critical to advance the health and interests of Australians, and encourage healthy food choices and education. New standards must be more effective and enforceable.
