Is your food business facing one of these challenges?

  • New products and a growing range

    You’ve developed an exciting new product and your range is expanding quickly, but your labelling hasn’t kept pace.

    You need Australian-compliant labels across the range, including nutrition information panels, Health Star Ratings and allergen labelling in the correct format.

  • Formulated foods

    You’re creating a product for a specific nutrition or health need, but you’re unsure which nutrients matter and how it all fits under the Food Standards Code.

    You need practical advice on formulation, labelling, and what nutrition and health claims are available.

  • Label reviews

    You’re updating labels across a growing product range and need confidence that they meet current and upcoming Australian requirements.

    You need clear advice on Plain English Allergen Labelling, Health Star Ratings, NIPs, ingredient lists and which nutrition and health claims you can safely use on packaging and marketing materials.

  • Food imports

    You’re importing food into Australia and need Australian-compliant labels before your products are sold in Australia.

    We help you adapt labels to meet Australian requirements, including allergens, nutrition information panels, ingredient lists, country-of-origin labelling, and permitted claims.

    Food labelling

    We work closely with food businesses to create compliant labels that highlight product strengths and reduce the risk of recalls or enforcement action. Our expertise spans the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, Australian Consumer Law, relevant trade measurement and environmental laws, and key industry codes.

    We can review your current labels or help you develop new ones, including nutrition information panels and Plain English Allergen Labelling, so your range is accurate and ready for sale.

    Product compliance

    Adding food additives, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to foods is tightly regulated in Australia and New Zealand. Some additives and ingredients, including novel foods, may not be permitted in Australia or New Zealand, even if they are commonly used overseas. This makes formulation compliance essential, especially for importers.

    At Food360, we also specialise in reviewing and developing formulated foods, including supplementary sports foods, meal replacements, and other specialised products. We help you navigate complex requirements and bring compliant, market-ready foods to Australian consumers with confidence.

    Nutrition and Health Claims

    Effective nutrition and health claims can help your product stand out in a crowded market.

    As food regulation consultants and nutrition scientists, we help identify claims that are compliant, substantiated, and appropriate for your foods and beverages.

    We also prepare and assess systematic reviews to support self-substantiated health claims, ensuring your messaging is both compelling for marketing and aligned with Food Standards Code requirements.

Imported Foods

Importing food into Australia means meeting Australian requirements for biosecurity, ingredients, allergens, claims, country of origin and labelling. Food360 reviews imported products and labels to identify what needs to change before they are sold in Australia, including potential biosecurity concerns, restricted ingredients, additives, vitamins, minerals and novel foods. We help you reduce delays, avoid costly compliance problems and prepare Australian-compliant labels before products reach the market.

Nutrition and Health Claims

Nutrition and health claims can be one of the most complex areas of food regulation. The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code has its own claims framework, which can differ significantly from other jurisdictions. Some overseas claims may not be permitted here or may need different wording or evidence, while some claims available in Australia may not be allowed in many other markets.

Food360 combines food regulation expertise with nutrition science to help you identify claims that are compliant, substantiated and appropriate for your products. We also support self-substantiated health claims through thorough, evidence-based reviews.

Product Compliance

Product compliance starts with understanding where your food fits within the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Strict rules govern what you can add to foods in Australia, and not all ingredients, additives or nutrients used overseas are permitted here.

Food360 helps you assess the best regulatory pathway for your product, including whether it falls within a specialised or formulated food category, and what that means for composition, ingredients, additives, labelling and claims. We make compliance clearer, so you can develop, adapt or introduce products to the Australian market with confidence.

Compliant Labels

Food360 helps you create and review labels that meet Australian requirements and communicate clearly with customers. We assess mandatory label information, including nutrition information panels, allergen labelling, ingredient lists, country of origin statements, claims and other requirements that apply to your product.

We also consider the label as a whole, including the wording, imagery, layout and overall impression created for consumers. This is where experienced regulatory judgement matters.

Whether you are launching a new product, updating an existing label or reviewing a growing range, we provide practical advice so your labels are accurate, compliant and ready for the Australian market.
