FSANZ provides advice to the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources on whether foods pose a medium to high risk to public health.

FSANZ provides advice when the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources:
asks for advice
requests a review of previous advice provided by FSANZ.
FSANZ may also provide advice:

in response to a national food safety incident
as a result of our standards development work or
as part of an assessment of an emerging food safety issue.
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources inspects imported food to check it meets Australian public health and safety requirements and to ensure it complies with the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Visit the department’s website for information about the Imported Food Inspection Scheme and for answers to frequently asked questions about imported food.

FSANZ is currently reviewing risk foods to determine whether they remain a medium to high risk. The outcomes of the most recent FSANZ assessments are listed below.

There are biosecurity restrictions on food such as meat, fruit, eggs, vegetables and dairy products from certain countries. For this reason, any foods listed below that do not meet biosecurity requirements will not be allowed into Australia.
