The responsibilities of FSANZ include:

• developing, varying and reviewing standards for food available in Australia and New Zealand – these are set out in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code).
• developing codes of conduct in collaboration with industry.

In New Zealand, FSANZ is responsible for standards relating to labelling, composition and contaminants. In Australia, FSANZ has a much wider scope. As well as labelling and composition, it also develops food standards for food safety, maximum residue limits (MRLs), primary production and processing as well as a range of other functions including the coordination of recall systems and assessing policies about imported food.
