A summary of food regulatory updates in Australia and internationally, for the month of April 2024.
On 3 March 2024, the Australian Competition and Consumer Competition (ACCC) published its enforcement priorities for 2023-24. Several of these priorities are highly relevant to food businesses and include issues such as fair trading in the supermarket sector and ‘greenwashing’. This article explores these issues with case examples and explains how businesses can reduce their ACCC risk.
A potential food recall scenario is a high-pressure situation that requires the directors and food business management teams to make quick but critically important decisions. A food business can make its decision-making processes easier by improving its preparation and ensuring that critical information and data analysis is readily available to help inform the decision-making process from the earliest stage of an emerging event. This article considers factors in determining whether a recall is necessary. It is important to recognise the desirability for external legal assistance such as is provided by FoodLegal, at the time when a problem is emerging and also in preparing systems that will mitigate problems before a real-case crisis ever emerges.
Chemical substances can have a wide range of applications, including in industrial use, cleaning products, therapeutics, food and beverages. As a result, there are areas of overlap between substances regulated under the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals scheme (AICIS) and Australia’s food regulatory system. This article explores these areas and some of the issues when using substances relevant to more than the food regulatory framework.
