Food Liaison Pty Ltd has provided expert advice on food regulation to the food industry since the inception of the company in the form of consultancy and publishing.
Food Liaison Pty Ltd was established in 1990 to meet the needs of the food industry trying to fight the maze of food regulation at the time. At that time we published the only available loose-leaf service for the Food Standards Code. That was joined a little later by a service on computer disc. . See Foodfind. for information.
Food Liaison has also been involved in consulting to the food industry since 1990.
Food Liaison Pty Ltd monitors the activities of regulatory bodies in Australia and New Zealand. We have a database on the proposals and applications under consideration by the Australia New Zealand Food Authority (ANZFA). We can offer advice on current food standards and proposed food standards. We can assist with comments to ANZFA and we can write applications to ANZFA for changes to food standards.
David Panasiak (Principal of Food Liaison) and our other consultancy staff have established relationships with various government organisations that deal with food in Australia and New Zealand. We would be happy to assist you in any aspect of food regulation or refer you to an appropriate person.

Food Liaison Pty Ltd first published a loose-leaf version of the Australian Food Standards Code in January 1990 and the loose-leaf service has been continuous ever since. We later developed a computer disk version of the Australian Food Standards Code marketed under the FOODfind brand.
The FOODfind disk contains much more than the Australian Food Standards Code. Please follow the link to find out more!
