EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-
The Australia New Zealand Food Authority (ANZFA) received an application on 12 June 2000 from the Distilled Spirits industry Council of Australia (DSICA) to amend theFood Standards Code ( ' the Code ' ) to exempt from the labelling requirements of the Code, spirit and liqueur products sold through duty free shops for export, or in the case of in-bound duty free, for personal import (' domestic duty free sale ' ).
-
At the recent meeting of the ANZFA Board in Adelaide (ANZFA69), the Board considered application A418 - Labelling of Duty Free Spirits, at Full Assessment. As a result of its deliberations, it prepared a draft variation of a food regulatory measure (see Attachment 1). The draft variation exempts from certain labelling requirements, alcoholic beverages standardised in Standard 2.7.5 of the Code that are intended for sale, or sold, in a duty free shop. The labelling requirements from which such beverages are proposed to be exempted are:
-
the requirement to label with the name and business address in Australia or New Zealand of the supplier of the food (clause 3 of Standard 1.2.2); and
-
the requirement to apply standard drinks labelling (clause 3 of Standard 2.7.1).
