New Zealand Food Safety has published an update to the Further Processing Guidance Document, for secondary processors of non-dairy animal products.
The Further Processing Guidance Document helps secondary processors of non-dairy animal products meet the requirements of the Animal Products Act 1999. It also supports businesses operating under the Food Act by providing clear information on further processing requirements and good industry practices.
The updated guidance includes a revised Concentration and Drying section that brings together current requirements and references in one place. It also updates references throughout the guidance to align with the Animal Products Regulations 2021 and the Animal Products Notice: Production, Supply and Processing, helping industry access clear and up-to-date information.
