FOOD REGULATORY CONSULTING
New Zealand food label review
Assess existing labels for New Zealand against the Food Standards Code and product documents.
Content reviewed: · Our approach to sources
What do we assess together?
The shared Food Standards Code is a key source for New Zealand reviews. The implementation framework indicated by FSANZ sources and product- or country-specific topics are identified separately.
Shared elements with Australia do not mean that all additional rules and procedures are identical. Date, storage, usage and operator information on the existing label is compared with documentary evidence and reported.
Our review topics
- Matching existing packaging to the product and target market
- Checking label information against technical data
- Identifying issues requiring local sources, documents or specialist verification
How do we adapt the review to your product?
Before starting, we agree on the current packaging version, product code and expected deliverable. Each technical detail is linked to the relevant label, and issues that cannot be verified because data is missing are recorded separately. The report distinguishes implementable corrections from matters requiring local authority or specialist confirmation. If a revision review is requested, the same record tracks how earlier findings were addressed.
