    Food Standards Australia New Zealand （FSANZ） today released a consultation paper on an Application seeking to delay the start date of new requirements for nutrition content claims about dietary fibre.

    FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said the Australian Food and Grocery Council （AFGC） had lodged an application seeking to extend the transition date for the requirements by one year to January 2017.

    “The requirements are part of a health claims standard which has a three year transition period finishing on 18 January 2016,” Mr McCutcheon said.

    “At the request of industry, FSANZ reviewed the requirements for nutrition content claims about dietary fibre and decided to make no change. The AFGC is seeking an extension of the transition period to allow for implementation work that was deferred by manufacturers while the review was undertaken.
