Australia
Jul 22, 2024
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has published Approval report, Application A1257 Australian native bee honey; Supporting Document 1 Risk and technical assessment Application A1257 – Australian native bee honey.
FSANZ has assessed an application to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code to accept honey produced by stingless bee species native to Australia as a standardised food. FSANZ has approved a new standard (Standard 2.8.3 – _Native bee honey) which sets out compositional and labelling requirements for honey produced by bees native to Australia from the genera Tetragonula and Austroplebeia, which are not known as 'honeybees'.
A food that is sold as native bee honey produced by stingless bees native to Australia will have to meet the definition of native bee honey and meet the compositional requirements of the standard. However, there is no requirement for native bee honey to be a product of Australia.
