LegislationThe Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code is the legal code governing food safety and food labelling in Australia and New Zealand. It is administered by Food Standards Australia New Zealand. Officially, it is issued as Australian secondary legislation and then adopted by New Zealand secondary legislation. It contains certain chapters labelled as "Australia only" which do not apply in New Zealand, and the New Zealand government has the discretion to refuse to adopt amendments which it disagrees with–an example is New Zealand's decision not to adopt the new Kava standard which significantly reduced the legal availability of Kava, on the grounds that doing so interfered with the cultural rights of Pasifika peoples.
