P1054 - Pure and highly concentrated caffeine products

Urgent Proposal P1054 was prepared to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code to prohibit the retail sale of pure and highly concentrated caffeine food products.

FSANZ prepared the Proposal as an emergency interim response under its urgent legislative provisions following its review and report to Australian Government Ministers in August 2019.

The Ministerial Report and the Initial Consideration Report found pure and highly concentrated caffeine food products posed an immediate and acute risk to consumers.

Proposal P274 - Review of minimum age labelling of foods for infants

Proposal P274 aimed to align the labelling requirements of Standard 2.9.2 - Infant Foods of the
Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) with infant feeding guidelines in Australia and New Zealand.

Work on the Proposal began in 2003 after the Ministerial Council at the time asked us to review Standard 2.9.2, following release of the 2003 NHMRC Infant Feeding Guidelines for Health Workers.
