When does the Standard come into effect?
The Country of Origin Food Labelling Information Standard (link is external) (Standard) commenced on 1 July 2016. The Standard establishes a new system for the country of origin labelling of food products sold in Australia. Businesses have up to two years to transition to the labelling requirements set out in the Standard. During the transition period, businesses may either:
- voluntarily adopt the requirements of the Standard or
- continue to comply with the requirements around country of origin labelling set out in the Food Standards Code.
From 1 July 2018, businesses must comply with the Standard's country of origin labelling requirements
