AMA submission to the Department of Health – Horizon scan to support the System Strategic Direction for 2023-2026 – Food Regulatory System

While several aspects of the horizon scan document allude to health challenges in the food regulatory system, it does not go far enough in prioritising public health over industry interests. The AMA would like to see a food regulatory system that enhances the health of all Australians, as well as ensuring that our food supply is safe, sustainable, and affordable. This overall objective should be adequately prioritised when considering trends, issues, risks, and opportunities affecting the broader food system.
