Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991

If the Authority approves a draft high level health claims variation, the Authority must, within 10 business days after the approval:

give the Forum on Food Regulation:

a written notification of the approval; and

a copy of the report prepared by the Authority under section 52; and

if submissions were called for under section 51—give public notice of the decision.

If the Authority has notified the Forum on Food Regulation under subsection (1), the Forum may direct the Authority to give the Forum such information as the Forum reasonably requires for the purpose of assisting the Forum to make a decision about the draft under Division 3.

The process followed by the Forum on Food Regulation after receiving notification under this section is set out in Division 3.
