FSANZ invites public comment of proposed food code changes
Changes involving the irradiation of persimmons and the use of low THC hemp for food are being considered by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
FSANZ has announced a period of public comment on two requests for changes to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code - the regulations governing the sale of food sold in Australia and New Zealand.
Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said FSANZ’s responsibility was to ensure that irradiated persimmons and the use of hemp in food should be safe for consumers.
“FSANZ welcomes comments from government agencies, public health professionals, industry and the community on issues raised in a consultation paper for the hemp application and on an assessment report on persimmon irradiation,” McCutcheon said.
