Nutrition Panel Calculator

Standard 1.2.8 – Nutrition Info”‹rmation Requirements”‹, of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code sets out the legal requirements about providing nutrition information panels and other nutrition information for food that is required to be labelled under the Code.

Although FSANZ is responsible for making food standards, enforcement of the standards is the responsibility of state and territory government agencies, the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries, and the Department of Agriculture. There are important provisions in state and territory Food Acts, the New Zealand Food Act 1981, and the Imported Food Control Act 1992 which provide various defences for failure to comply with food standards.
