NZFSA is up and running!
The integrated New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) came into existence on 1 July 2002. It replaces several regimes that were administered by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF). The Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Group is now part of the NZFSA. The ACVM Act is now the responsibility of the Minister for Food Safety.
The NZFSA has a new look, a new location, and a new website (see insert for contact details). However, as Director Debbie Morris says, 'It is business as usual for the ACVM Group'. Every effort will be made to ensure that service to ACVM customers is not disrupted.
