AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEALTH

PUBLIC HEALTH (DAIRY) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 12 of 1981

	The Minister of State for Health has made regulations under the Public Health Ordinance 1928 which amend the Public Health (Dairy) Regulations.

	The amendment deleted the former requirement to specify the name of a thickener added to cream and the former requirement to specify that a stabiliser has been added to cream.  Such cream will not only require the words “Thickener added” on the label.  This will bring the A.C.T. into line with other States and with the recommendations of the NH & MRC.
