Drafting note:
ANZFA in Proposal P154 is currently considering the necessity and/or content of a prescribed warning statement in relation to food containing royal jelly. Until Proposal P154 settles this issue, the existing requirements in Australia and New Zealand remain unchanged. In Australia, Standard 1.1.3 of Volume 2 requires compliance with Standard K2. In New Zealand the mandatory food standard in relation to royal jelly remains in force.
