✨ Food Standards Amendment
18 JANUARY 2013 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 3 147
[5.1] omitting the Purpose statement, substituting -
This Standard sets out nutrition information requirements in relation to food that is required to be labelled under this Code and for food exempt from these labelling requirements. This Standard prescribes when nutritional information must be provided, and the manner in which such information is provided.
Editorial Note:
Standard 1.2.7 – Nutrition, Health and Related Claims also sets out additional nutrition information requirements in relation to nutrition content claims and health claims.
This Standard does not apply to infant formula products standardised in Standard 2.9.1 – Infant Formula Products. Standard 2.9.1 sets out specific nutrition labelling requirements that apply to infant formula products.
[5.2] omitting the definitions of gluten and nutrition claim in subclause 1(1)
[5.3] omitting the definition of average energy content in subclause 1(1), substituting -
average energy content means the figure calculated in accordance with subclause (3)
[5.4] inserting in alphabetical order in subclause 1(1) -
claim requiring nutrition information has the meaning given in subclause 4(1).
[5.5] renumbering subclause 1(2) as 1(4)
[5.6] inserting after subclause 1(1) -
(2) Unless the contrary intention appears, the definitions in Standard 1.2.7 apply in this Standard.
(3) Average energy content is to be calculated by -
(a) multiplying the average amount of each food component per 100 g of the food by the energy factor for that food component; then
(b) adding the amounts calculated for each food component using the following formula -
EkJ = ∑WiFi
Where EkJ is the average energy content expressed in kilojoules per 100 g, Wi is the average weight of the food component expressed in grams per 100 g and Fi means the energy factor assigned to that food component expressed in kilojoules per gram.
[5.7] inserting after clause 1 -
1A Application
This Standard does not apply to a food standardised by Standard 2.9.1.
Editorial note:
Infant formula products standardised by Standard 2.9.1 are not required to carry a nutrition information panel in accordance with this Standard. Standard 2.9.1 prescribes specific nutrition information requirements for those foods.
