FSANZ Consultation
FSANZ (Food Standards Australia New Zealand) Consultation
In today’s competitive food industry, meeting food safety and labelling regulations is not optional — it’s essential for maintaining your license to operate, protecting public health, and safeguarding your brand’s reputation. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) sets strict standards that govern the safety, composition, labelling, and handling of food sold in Australia and New Zealand. Complying with these requirements can be complex, but with the right guidance, it becomes manageable, practical, and beneficial for your business.
Our FSANZ Consultation service is designed to help food businesses of all sizes navigate the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code with confidence. Whether you’re a food manufacturer, importer, exporter, wholesaler, retailer, or food service operator, our tailored support ensures your products and processes meet the highest safety and compliance standards.
What We Offer
We begin with a comprehensive review of your food products, production processes, ingredient sourcing, and labelling practices. Our experienced consultants identify gaps and potential non-compliances with the FSANZ Code and provide clear, practical recommendations to bring your business into line with all relevant requirements.
Our support covers a wide range of compliance areas, including:
- Food Additives and Processing Aids: Verifying that only permitted substances are used within specified limits.
- Food Labelling and Packaging: Ensuring your labels meet mandatory information requirements, including nutrition panels, allergen declarations, country of origin, and health claims.
- Food Composition Standards: Confirming your products meet minimum or maximum compositional requirements for specific food categories.
- Microbiological and Chemical Safety: Reviewing your production and handling processes to minimise contamination risks and ensure food safety limits are met.
- Novel Foods and Health Claims: Assisting with submissions for novel foods or unique ingredients that require FSANZ approval before entering the market.
Documentation and Process Support
Our consultants help you develop and implement compliant food safety management systems that align with FSANZ requirements and integrate seamlessly with other standards such as HACCP, GMP, and BRCGS. We assist with drafting and reviewing food safety programs, supplier agreements, product specifications, and recall plans.
Audit Preparation and Representation
We know that inspections by food regulators can be stressful. Our pre-audit checks, internal audits, and corrective action support help you address any compliance gaps before an official visit. We can also liaise with regulatory officers on your behalf, giving you confidence during inspections or investigations.

Understanding the FSANZ Food Standards Code can be daunting, especially for businesses with multiple product lines or complex operations. We deliver targeted training for your management and operational staff to ensure they fully understand their responsibilities under the Code, from labelling and allergen management to food handling and storage practices.
