✨ Food Standards Code Amendment
20 DECEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 4389
SCHEDULE
[1] Inserting the following Transitional Standard before the Table of Contents of the Food Standards Code -
TRANSITIONAL STANDARD FOR THE OPERATION OF VOLUME 1 AND VOLUME 2 OF THE FOOD STANDARDS CODE
Purpose
This Standard will operate from the time Volume 2 of the Food Standards Code (known as the joint Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code) comes into effect until such time as both Volume 1 (known as the Australian Food Standards Code) and relevant regulations within the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984 are repealed.
During this transitional period, this Standard requires that food either comply with Volume One (existing Australian Food Standards Code) or with Volume 2 (the joint Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code). In New Zealand, Volume One and Volume Two operate as alternatives to the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984. Therefore, for New Zealand purposes, food must comply with the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984 or Volume One or Volume Two, but not a combination of any two or three.
Manufacturers will need to choose which volume they wish to manufacture to for the food manufactured. Food may not comply with a combination of parts of Volume One, parts of Volume Two and, in New Zealand parts of the Food Regulations. It should be noted that, other than those Standards in Chapter 3 of Volume Two, which only apply in Australia, the requirement does not apply to the manufacturer but rather the food being manufactured. Therefore, if the manufacturer makes two kinds of food, this Standard allows one kind of food to be manufactured, say to Volume One requirements, and the other kind of food to Volume Two.
