The information includes commencement or cessation information for relevant amendments.\n\nThese amendments are made under section 92 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 unless otherwise indicated. Amendments do not have a specific date for cessation unless indicated as such.\n\nAbout this compilation\n\nThis is compilation No. 8 of Schedule 8 as in force on 16 September 2025 (up to Amendment No. 231). It includes any commenced amendment affecting the compilation to that date.\n\nPrepared by Food Standards Australia New Zealand on 16 September 2025.\n\nUncommenced amendments or provisions ceasing to have effect\n\nTo assist stakeholders, the effect of any uncommenced amendments or provisions which will cease to have effect, may be reflected in the Schedule as shaded boxed text with the relevant commencement or cessation date. These amendments will be reflected in a compilation registered on the Federal Register of Legislation including or omitting those amendments and provided in the Amendment History once the date is passed.\n\nThe following abbreviations may be used in the table below:\n\nad = added or inserted am = amended\n\nexp = expired or ceased to have effect rep = repealed\n\nrs = repealed and substituted\n\nSchedule 8 was published in the Food Standards Gazette No. FSC96 on 10 April 2015 as part of Amendment 154 (F2015L00478 –- 1 April 2015) and has since been amended as follows:\n\n| Section affected | A’ment No. | FRL registrationGazette | Commencement(Cessation) | How affected | Description of amendment |\n| ---------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| table to S8—2 | 168 | F2017L0041411 April 2017FSC11013 April 2017 | 13 April 2017 | am | Numerical entries for tocopherol to correct typographical error. |\n| table to S8—2 | 182 | F2018L0159523 Nov 2018FSC12329 Nov 2018 | 29 Nov 2018 | am | Polyoxyethylene (40) stearate |\n| table to S8—2 | 182 | F2018L0159523 Nov 2018FSC12329 Nov 2018 | 29 Nov 2018 | ad | Polysorbate 20, Polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate |\n| table to S8—2 | 183 | F2019L0003711 Jan 2019FSC12423 Jan 2019 | 23 January 2019 | ad | Monk fruit extract or luo han guoextract |\n| table to S8—2 | 183 | F2019L0004011 Jan 2019FSC12423 Jan 2019 | 23 January 2019 | ad | Rosemary extract (392) |\n| table to S8—2 | 184 | F2019L002596 Mar 2019FSC12527 Feb 2019Note: this variation never commenced | never commenced | amdt not applied | Entry for Potassium polyaspartate |\n| table to S8—2 | 188 | F2019L0156828 Nov 2019FSC1295 Dec 2019 | 5 Dec 2019 | ad | Entry for Potassium polyaspartate |\n| table to S8—2 | 198 | F2021L0032725 March 2021FSC 13926 March 2021 | 26 March 2021 | ad | inserting Sweet osmanthus ear glycolipids |\n| S8—2 | 231 | F2024L0115113 Sept 2024FSC 17113 Sept2024 | 13 Sep 2024 | ad | Inserting di-alpha tocophenol, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide |\n| S8—2 | 244 | F2025L0108111 Sep 2025FSC 18416 Sep 2025 | 16 Sep 2025 | am | Insert into table titled Food additive names—alphabetical listing entry for Mushroom chitosan |\n| S8—2 | 244 | F2025L0108111 Sep 2025FSC 18416 Sep 2025 | 16 Sep 2025 | am | Insert into table titled Food additive names— numerical listing entry for Mushroom chitosan |","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The Schedule continues to perform its original function: to list additive names and their code numbers for ingredient statements.
