with food nutrient concentration data derived from naturally-occurring concentrations, proposed levels of use, the current permissions for use specified in the Code, analytical data derived from surveys or data on use provided by the manufacturers. The information required to undertake this assessment will be derived from different sources, including the application.

The application must contain the following information:

     D.1 A detailed list of the food groups or foods in which the use of a nutritive substance is proposed, or changes to currently permitted foods in which a nutritive substance is used

This includes information about the nutrient content of foods to which the use of the nutritive substance is proposed such as total fat and saturated fat, total sugars, sodium, and energy content.

     D.2 The maximum proposed level of the use of the nutritive substance for each food group or food, or the proposed changes to the currently permitted use levels

This includes information on the proposed levels of the use in food, as well as naturally-occurring levels in foods.

     D.3 For foods or food groups not currently listed in the most recent Australian or New Zealand National Nutrition Surveys (NNSs), information on the likely level of consumption

This includes any consumption information for food groups not included in the most recent Australian or New Zealand NNSs which relate to the application. Data distinguishing likely consumption levels among target and non-target groups are preferred.

Note:

Information on likely consumption can be based on proposed levels of consumption (grams per day) or on consumption data for these foods from a similar market in another country. The most recent NNSs are the 2011–12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey (NNPAS) component of the 2011–13 Australian Health Survey  (2 years. and above), the 2008–09 New Zealand NNS (15 years. and above) and the 2002 New Zealand Children's NNS (5–14 years).

The application should include the following information:

     D.4 The percentage of the food group to which the use of the nutritive substance is proposed or the percentage of the market likely to use the nutritive substance

This includes information based on projected uptake of the use of the nutritive substance in foods or market share data for foods to which the use of the nutritive substance is likely. This could be based on a similar market in another country.

     D.5 Information relating to the use of the nutritive substance in other countries

This includes information on the foods or food groups in which the nutritive substance is used, the use levels and consumption amounts in other countries.

This information provides an indication of the range of foods in Australia and New Zealand that might contain the used nutritive substance.

     D.6 For foods where
