Australian food supply chain given green light by national study

The safety of the Australian food supply chain has been confirmed in the latest nation-wide study, Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Ageing, Catherine King, announced.

"The 23rd Australian Total Diet Study (ATDS) released today by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), has reaffirmed the Australian food supply is safe for consumers," King said.
 
"The ATDS investigated agricultural and veterinary chemicals, contaminants and nutrients in 92 foods commonly consumed in the Australian diet. In total more than 1500 samples of food were taken as part of the study. The foods were tested as they would be eaten, for example apples were tested without cores and chicken was cooked,” she said.
