I advise the honourable senator that, under the Imported Food Control Act 1992, FSANZ and not the minister determines whether a type of food is classified as ‘risk’. AQIS inspects risk food at a rate of 100 per cent of consignments, reducing over time if a history of compliance is demonstrated. Most seafood is not classified by FSANZ as risk food.
