Introduction
Australia is a major producer of raw materials and processed foods, but imports a growing volume of food and beverages. Imports have increased steadily over recent years. U.S. exports of consumer ready products to Australia have risen by almost 80 percent in value in the past five years. All foods sold in Australia must comply with a range of laws designed to protect public health and safety, to ensure plant and animal pests and diseases are not introduced, and to assist consumers. These laws apply equally to imported and locally produced foods. The information contained in this report deals with both public health and quarantine requirements for foods imported into Australia. All imported food must first comply with quarantine and imported food requirements and then with food safety requirements.
