Exclusion of mandatory fish names from the Standard Seven submissions made mention of the exclusion of the fish names from the Standard.
Following extensive discussions this matter with the SDC an approach to this matter was agreed. This entails the development of an Australian Standard that can be used under fair trading laws as a reference document.
Once completed, FSANZ will consider an application to reference the Australian Standard in the Code following FSANZ’s normal assessment processes.
To further assist in the process of correct use of fish marketing names, FSANZ has funded the development of posters through Seafood Services Australia and is working with the food industry to support the development of a Standards Australia standard.
