FSANZ proposal for review of regulatory nutrient reference values

On 10 April 2018, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) published an Administrative Assessment Report for a proposal to review the regulatory nutrient reference values. As the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code is currently based on 1991 Nutrient Reference Values, this article provides an overview of the proposal together with the implications it may have if the 2017 Nutrition Reference Values are adapted into the Food Standards Code.
