Committees and groups
The Food Ministers’ Meeting sets the priorities and oversees the food regulation system.
Its standing committee – the Food Regulation Standing Committee (FRSC) – coordinates and oversees policy activities.
The FRSC’s subcommittee – the Implementation Subcommittee for Food Regulation (ISFR) – undertakes implementation and enforcement activities.
All 3 are supported by the Food Regulation Secretariat.
As the decision maker of the food regulation system, the Food Ministers’ Meeting also considers the work of Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
