case study - processing aid

In this case study, a chemical will be supplied for use solely as a washing agent in the processing of food. The product will be imported from an overseas company. Because it will be used in a direct food contact application the product will, primarily, need to comply with the requirements of Food Standards Australia and New Zealand.

The landscape flow chart presented below is a representative example of the key regulations and regulatory agencies expected to apply throughout the life cycle (Scoping, Design, Development and Supply) that will apply to a washing agent used as a processing aid in New Zealand in accordance with Food Standards Australia and New Zealand requirements.
