Abstract

This Notice has the purpose to adopt the new joint Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Code known as well as Volume 2. The Notice also sets transitional standards for the time in which the Volume 2 comes into effect. Until such time in New Zealand, Volume 1 (Food Standards Code which was published by the National Health and Medical Research Council in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No. P 27, on 27 August 1987) and Volume 2 operate as alternatives to the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984. Therefore, for New Zealand purposes, food must comply with the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984 or Volume 1 or Volume 2, but not a combination of any two or three. Volume 1 and relevant regulations within the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984 are repealed when Volume 2 will be into effect.
