The regulation of antioxidants in Australia

In Australia each State and Territory used to have their own food legislation.8 However, in 1987 the National Health and Medical Research Council produced the Food Standards Code to bring harmonisation of food legislation throughout the country. The Imported Food Control Act requires that all imported foods comply with the Food Standards Code. In August 1991, the new National Food Authority (NFA) was established. NFA is now responsible for setting all food standards in Australia.
