No. 170

Standard 1.5.2

Food Produced Using Gene Technology

Purpose

Division 1 of this Standard addresses health and safety requirements, regulating the sale of food produced using gene technology, other than additives and processing aids. The Standard prohibits the sale and use of these foods unless they are included in the Table to clause 2 and comply with any special conditions in that Table.

The Authority will assess the safety for human consumption of each food produced using gene technology or such class of food prior to its inclusion in the Table. The safety assessment will be performed according to the Authority’s approved safety assessment criteria.

Additives and processing aids which are produced using gene technology are not regulated in Division 1 of this Standard. Other Standards in this Code regulate additives and processing aids and require pre-market approval for these substances.

Division 2 of this Standard specifies labelling and other information requirements for foods, including food additives and processing aids, produced using gene technology.
