Editorial Note:
Standard 1.1A.8 is a transitional Standard that applies to claims about the presence or absence of dietary fibre in a food and operates concurrently with Standard 1.2.7. The transitional arrangement permitted by Standard 1.1A.8 allows a supplier making a claim about the presence or absence of dietary fibre in a food to either comply with clause 11 of Standard 1.2.7 or clause 2 of Standard 1.1A.8, but not both. This transitional arrangement under Standard 1.1A.8 commenced on 18 January 2016 and will cease on 1 March 2016 when the revised Code takes effect and that Standard is revoked. The revised Code will provide a similar transitional arrangement until and including 17 January 2017.
