FSANZ Regulatory Compliance and Food Standards Support
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is the bi-national authority responsible for developing and maintaining the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, which governs the ingredients, processing aids, additives, vitamins and minerals, labelling, and health and nutrition claims for all foods sold in both countries. Our consultancy provides professional, end-to-end support to ensure your food and health supplement products meet FSANZ requirements seamlessly and efficiently.
Comprehensive FSANZ Compliance Services
Our consultancy assists businesses at every stage, from product conception to market launch ensuring each product aligns with the FSANZ Code and associated regulatory frameworks. This includes
FSANZ Code Interpretation and Compliance Consulting
We help assess product classification under FSANZ or TGA frameworks, determine applicable standards and identify mandatory declarations for ingredients, allergens, and nutritional content.
Ingredient and Formulation Review
Detailed analysis of all ingredients including vitamins, minerals, and additives to determine compliance with accepted use levels, safety data, and restrictions under relevant FSANZ standards. For novel foods or new ingredients without a history of consumption, we guide businesses through FSANZ’s safety assessment process and prepare scientific data packages, toxicological reports, and risk assessments required for approval.
Labelling and Claims Validation
We review product packaging and marketing materials to ensure nutrition content, country-of-origin, health, and allergen claims meet FSANZ and TGA expectations. This includes assistance with Nutrient Profiling Scoring Criteria (NPSC) evaluations and substantiation of functional food claims.
Health and Nutrition Claims Management
Support in validating and documenting substantiated nutrient, function, and general wellbeing claims to ensure consistency with FSANZ Standard 1.2.7 and compliance with evidence-based standards required for approval or notification.
Regulatory Documentation & Dossier Preparation
Preparation of technical dossiers for regulatory submission, including product formulation data, certificates of analysis, GMP or HACCP certifications, and scientific substantiation reports. Our team ensures your documentation is structured in line with FSANZ’s submission best practices to avoid delays during review.
FSANZ Novel Food Application Support
For innovative formulations or functional compounds, we handle the full process from determining ingredient eligibility and classification to compiling required safety and efficacy data and communicating with FSANZ assessors until final approval is achieved.
With extensive experience across food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries, our consultants help you navigate the often‑complex FSANZ–TGA interface that differentiates between foods, dietary supplements, and therapeutic goods. As ANZ compliance professionals, we ensure your product documentation aligns with both public health protection and commercial objectives, facilitating faster market access and regulatory confidence.
