The new information standard came into effect on 1 July 2026 under Australian Consumer Law (ACL). It applies to businesses that serve seafood for immediate consumption including restaurants, takeaways, hotels, pubs, clubs and food trucks.

Over the last 12 months we’ve raised awareness and helped the hospitality industry understand the new labelling requirements by providing resources and guidance material.
