Food Standard ( Standard 1.5.2 ) - foods produced using gene technology - regulates the sale of genetically modified foods in Australia and New Zealand and was incorporated into the Food Standards Code on 13 May 1999 and in an amended form on 7 December 2000.
The standard has two provisions;
1. a mandatory pre-market safety assessment requirement, and
2. a mandatory labelling requirement.
Details on FSANZ' s assessments of genetically modified foods, what labelling they require, and current proposals and approvals can be found through the links below.
