Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code

The Food Standards Code is a set of food labelling and composition standards for both New Zealand and Australia. The Code was adopted in New Zealand in February 2001 and took full effect on 20 December 2002.

NZFSA has developed a series of fact sheets on food labelling requirements to help manufacturers implement the new requirements of the Food Standards Code.

We have also developed a Labelling Guide to assist with navigation of the Food Standards Code.
