Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), is undertaking a second round of public consultation on its review of the addition of caffeine to food.
Proposed amendments to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, aim to clarify the regulations around the retail sale of caffeine and its addition to food.
FSANZ CEO Dr Sandra Cuthbert said the review followed changes to the code in 2019, which prohibited the retail sale of pure and highly concentrated caffeine products.
“This review has considered whether additional measures are required in relation to caffeine in food, particularly formulated supplementary sports foods. A number of amendments to the regulation of caffeine in foods are proposed to ensure the continued protection of public health and safety, particularly for vulnerable sub-populations,” said Dr Cuthbert.
