Food Globalized helps food brands understand Australian food standards, biosecurity requirements, and labelling obligations before launch.
Food standards in Australia are set by FSANZ, while biosecurity and import permits are managed by DAFF. Both must be addressed before products enter the market.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand — sets the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, which governs labelling, additives, and contaminant limits.
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry — manages biosecurity import conditions (BICON) and import permits for food products.
Retail products in Australia must comply with Standard 1.2.1 of the FSANZ Food Standards Code. This covers mandatory declarations including the statement of ingredients, allergen information, country of origin, and nutrition information.
Note: Labelling requirements differ between packaged food, unpackaged food, and food service channels. Export labels should be reviewed against the specific product category and intended channel before production.
Food Globalized helps assess product suitability, review FSANZ labelling requirements, identify biosecurity considerations, and support a clearer, lower-risk export pathway into Australia.
