P1056 - Caffeine review 2nd Call for Submissions

Overview

FSANZ has prepared a proposal to review permissions for caffeine in sports foods and in the general food supply. FSANZ has prepared a draft food regulatory measure. 

FSANZ completed a first round of statutory public consultation on this work in December 2022. Following consideration of submitter feedback and, based on the available evidence and the reasons set out in this second call for submissions, FSANZ has revised its proposed approach and prepared a draft variation to the Code, which is at Attachment A to the call for submissions report.
