The Food Act is a New Zealand Act of Parliament passed in 2014. It comes into force by 1 March 2016 and progressively replaces the Food Act 1981 over the next three years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Overview – Food Act 2014 )〕 It was introduced as the Food Bill 160-2 on 26 May 2010 to make some fundamental changes〔(foodsafety.govt.nz Proposed Food Bill )〕 to New Zealand's domestic food regulatory regime. Significantly, for an export led economic recovery for New Zealand, the domestic food regulatory regime is the platform for exports.〔(Regulatory Impact Statement 2009 )〕 The New Zealand domestic standard is used as the basis for negotiating equivalence arrangements with trading partners. This minimizes the excessive importing country requirements that may be imposed but which do not go to food safety. If passed into law and fully implemented, it would replace the Food Act 1981 and the (Food Hygiene Regulations 1974 ). Food Bill will also make consequential amendments to the (Animal Products Act 1999 ) and the (Wine Act 2003 ) to improve the interface of regulatory processes across food sectors. ==Background== * In 2009 The New Zealand Food Safety Authority prepared a (Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) ) to cover a "Reformed Food Regulatory Regime". In it the Agency outlines its theory about the importance of negotiating equivalence arrangements with New Zealand's trading partners on the first page. * A background justification for an appropriate food law to be used by countries world-wide was jointly developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO). In 2005 FAO & WHO produced a document called (Perspectives and guidelines on food legislation, with a new model food law ) which presents three model food laws that serve as the template(s) from which Food Bill 160-2 was subsequently elaborated. * * FAO and WHO also established a body known as the Codex Alimentarius Commission in 1963 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Food Act 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
