Standard 2.6.3

Kava

Purpose

This Standard, in conjunction with the National Code of Management on the Restriction of the Sale and Advertising of Kava (the National Code of Kava Management), regulates the sale and distribution of kava in Australia.

While Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments recognise the cultural importance of kava to the Australian South Pacific community, this Standard and the National Code of Kava Management seek to minimise the detrimental effects associated with kava abuse.

In New Zealand this Standard regulates the labelling of sale of kava, and prohibits the addition of kava to foods other than those that comply with New Zealand Dietary Supplements Regulations (1985). The National Code of Kava Management is not in operation in New Zealand.

Table of Provisions

In this Standard -

(a) ‘Use in moderation’; and
