Finalised Applications to 30 June 2016(as at 1 September 2016)

* These applications were carried over from the NHMRC with the formation of the National Food Authority (NFA) on 19 August 1991 and were ‘deactivated’ with no further work being carried out on them either because they:

did not meet the definition of an application under the NFA Act; or were policy issues and intended to be addressed as part of the NFA’s Policy Review; or were duplications of other projects; or no change to the then Australian Food Standards Code was required.
