Illustration for Food Act 2014

When you adopt a joint food standard under the Food Act 2014, you follow certain rules. These rules are set out in sections 396 to 400 and they tell you what you need to do before you can adopt a joint food standard under section 397. The act of adopting a joint food standard does not mean you are incorporating something by reference for the purposes of sections 63 to 66 and Schedule 2 of the Legislation Act 2019.
