📜 Food Bill 2005
Assented toLABill 11023 November 2005
The Food Bill 2005 aims to ensure food safety, prevent misleading conduct in food sales, and implement the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code in Western Australia. It modernises food regulation with a risk-based approach and stronger enforcement.
Impact
Food businesses, consumers, and local governments will be affected. It matters because it updates food safety regulations, potentially increasing compliance costs for businesses but improving consumer protection and public health.
Key Changes
["Repeals Part VIII of the Health Act 1911 relating to food regulation.", "Adopts the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.", "Introduces stronger emergency and recall powers for unsafe food."]
