Australia New Zealand Food Authority—Food Standards Matters at Inquiry

The authority has completed full assessments of the following applications and will now conduct inquiries.

Artificial flavouring substances (A237). This application, received on 15 December 1994 from the Council of Australian Food Technology Associations (CAFTA), seeks a variation to the Food Standards Code to correct and update the Schedule of permitted artificial flavouring substances in Standard A6—Flavourings and Flavour Enhancers.

On 28 August 1996, the Flavour and Fragrance Association of Australia and New Zealand (FFAANZ) revised CAFTA’s application and proposed that artificial flavouring substances should not be specifically listed in the standard. The FFAANZ proposed that Standard A6 should be amended to refer to artificial flavouring substances which are contained in lists published by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association and the Council of Europe.

The authority has prepared a draft variation to Standard A6 which will delete the current list of chemical names for permitted artificial flavouring substances and provide references to published lists of flavouring substances that have been assessed for safety.

Please send written submissions on matters relevant to this inquiry to one of the addresses below by 31 December 1996.

Ergot in cereal grains (A303). This application, received on 28 February 1996 from The Bread Research Institute of Australia, seeks to amend the Food Standards Code by reviewing clause (5) of Standard 12—Metals and Contaminants in Food, to provide an appropriate and realistic tolerance level for ergot in cereal products.

The authority has prepared a draft variation to Standard A12 to establish a tolerance level for ergot in cereal grain.

Please send written submissions on matters relevant to the inquiry to one of the addresses below by 15 January 1997.

Matters Before Council

The authority completed inquiries into the following applications and made recommendations to the Australia New Zealand Food Authority Council.
