Food labelling
(July 2012)
Food labels can provide a wide range of information to help consumers make food choices. Food labels also help to protect public health and safety by displaying information such as use by dates, ingredients, certain allergens, instructions for storage and preparation, and advisory and warning statements. FSANZ sets standards for what information must be on food labels.
FSANZ has developed information on a range of labelling topics. You can find links to this information below.
