🇦🇺 Foods banned in Australia but legal in the US
Regulator: Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)
Overview
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) develops and administers the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, a harmonized set of regulations covering both countries. FSANZ prohibits potassium bromate in flour, restricts most artificial food colours with warning requirements, and bans veterinary drugs including ractopamine in pigs—contrasting sharply with US permissiveness.
