Country of origin requirements for spirits

(1)
Products consisting of imported spirits to which only water or caramel or both has or
have been added in Australia shall be considered as wholly produced in the country of origin
of the spirit.

(2)
There shall be written in the label on or attached to a package containing spirit
bottled in Australia from imported bulk spirit, in standard type, the words ‘BOTTLED IN AUSTRALIA’.

(3)
There shall be written in the label on a package containing a blend of spirits
produced in more than one country, in standard type, the name of every such country in
descending order of proportion, and the proportion of the blend from each of the countries
with a deviation from the stated proportion of not more than 10 mL/L by volume.

(4)
Save for the purposes of compliance with subclause (2) or (3), the word ‘Australia’
or ‘Australian’ shall not be used in the label on or attached to a package containing spirits the
contents of which were not produced wholly in Australia.

Country of origin requirements in New Zealand for wine and wine products

(1)
There shall be borne on the label on each package of wine or wine product words
that clearly indicate the country of origin of the wine or wine product.

(2)
If any of the grape juice, concentrated grape juice, potable spirit, or wine spirit used
in any wine product originates in a country other than the country of origin of the wine, that
country shall be named on the label as a source of ingredients used in the manufacture of the
wine product.

STANDARD 1.1A.4

TRANSITIONAL STANDARD FOR THE LABELLING OF POLLEN AND ROYAL JELLY

Purpose

This Standard incorporates the labelling requirements for pollen products and royal jelly from
Standard K2 of the former Australian Food Standards Code, and operates as a transitional
alternative to the labelling requirements for those products in clause 3 of Standard 1.2.3 of
this Code. This Standard also incorporates the requirements of the mandatory food standard
in New Zealand relating to royal jelly and pollen products which will be rescinded upon issue
of this Standard in New Zealand.

This Standard ceases to have effect two years from the commencement of alternative requirements
contained in the Table to clause 3 of Standard 1.2.3. In Australia and New Zealand this means that
during that two-year period, bee pollen and royal jelly must comply with the labelling requirements
in this Standard (albeit different in the two countries) or those contained in clause 3 of Standard
1.2.3. ‘Stock-in-trade’ provisions contained in Standard 1.1.1 should also be referred to.
