Supply and sale of natural products
Health and wellness have become much more of a focus for Australians, with strong demand for natural, organic and local produce and growing trends towards hormone free and humanely sourced poultry and meat.
Similarly, the market for alternative ‘chemical-free’ health products for our pets is also growing.
These expanding markets requires continued monitoring to ensure compliance with Australia’s regulatory standards and to safeguard animal health through management of Good Manufacturing Practice.
Where we find widespread non-compliance in a particular industry or product, we will seek to inform and educate relevant suppliers on their legal responsibilities and to help the broader community understand how agvet laws protect them.
We outline any education campaigns we’re planning in our annual Compliance Plan.
Check our compliance education page for information about current campaigns we’re running for natural products.
