Thiamin levels in Australian breads: Results from the 2010 and 2012 national bread surveys

Thiamin levels in Australian breads: Results from the 2010 and 2012 national bread surveys (June 2016) This report presents thiamin content data from two bread analytical surveys undertaken in 2010 and 2012 under the Implementation Sub-committee for Food Regulation (ISFR) National Coordinated Survey Plan. The surveys were part of ongoing activities to monitor the impact of mandatory folic acid and iodine fortification of bread and were used by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) to also determine the amount of thiamin in breads on the Australian market. The surveys sampled three types of breads commonly consumed by Australian from the capital cities of all states and territories. The samples were chemically analysed for the amounts of thiamin, folic acid and iodine they contained. The chemical analysis was undertaken by the National…

Transgenic food animals

Transgenic food animals A Survey of publicly available information (December 2003) By Gregory S. Harper* , Alan Brownlee, Thomas E. Hall, Robert Seymour, Russell Lyons, Patrick Ledwith CSIRO Livestock Industries, 306 Carmody Rd., St. Lucia, Qld 4067 Executive Summary The last decade of animal research has reinforced the view that some food-related qualities of animal products (e.g. eating quality and yield) are strongly influenced by the genotype of the animal. Likewise animal production performance characteristics (e.g. growth rate and disease resistance) have been improved by selective breeding. One significant advantage of transgenesis is in rapid genetic improvement of traits of interest, and a dramatic example…

Values, Governments, and Food Regulation

Values, Governments, and Food Regulation In 2006, FSANZ commissioned the University of New South Wales to prepare a discussion paper on Values, Governments, and Food Regulation. The review, prepared by Dr Stephen Coleman, draws together the research relating to the increased attention on food safety, primarily focusing on ethics and public policy, but also political science. The review summarises the key points to be considered when attempting to develop an appropriate policy for government intervention in the production and sale of food. The key issues explored include:

  • the role of government in liberal democracies such as Australia and New Zealand,
  • issues of individual rights to liberty and autonomy, and
  • the role that values can appropriately play in the development of governmental policy with…

Risk Analysis in Food Regulation

Risk Analysis in Food Regulation This publication describes how FSANZ uses risk analysis to manage a diverse range of food-related health risks. The risk analysis process used by FSANZ is based on the internationally accepted codex Risk Analysis Framework. The document provides a broad overview of the FSANZ process; it is not intended to provide detailed information on the approach used by FSANZ in assessing particular types of foods, e.g. food contaminants or substances added to food. To produce this work, the previous booklet The Analysis of Food-Related Health Risks was systematically reviewed and updated over the course of two years. This latest edition now includes additional information on how FSANZ undertakes a nutritional risk analysis (the assessment of both…
