The food list should be based on the food group descriptions in the table to S15—5.

     C.2 The maximum proposed level or the concentration range of the food additive for each food group or food, or the proposed changes to the currently permitted levels

     C3 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 this 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 contain the following information:

     C.4 The percentage of the food group in which the food additive is proposed to be used or the percentage of the market likely to use the food additive

This includes information based on projected uptake or market share data for foods likely to contain the food additive. This can be based on a similar market in another country.

     C.5 Information relating to the use of the food additive in other countries, if applicable

This includes information on the foods or food groups in which it is used and the use levels.

     C.6 For foods where consumption has changed in recent years, information on likely current food consumption

This includes any consumption information for foods where there has been a significant change in consumption since the most recent Australian and New Zealand NNSs which relate to the application. This can be based on market share data, or sales data, or on a similar market in another country.
