Schedule 22 Foods and classes of foods Note 1 This instrument is a standard under the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth). The standards together make up the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. See also section 1.1.1—3. This Standard describes foods and classes of foods for subsection 1.4.1—2(2), subsection 1.4.2—3(4), subsection 1.5.3—3(2), subsection 1.5.3—4(3), paragraph S5—4(2)(b), section S19—4 and section S19—5, and portions of food for subsection 1.4.2—3(2). Note 2 The provisions of the Code that apply in New Zealand are incorporated in, or adopted under, the Food Act 2014 (NZ). See also section 1.1.1—3. S22—1 Name This Standard is Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code – Schedule 22 – Foods and classes of foods. Note Commencement: This Standard commences on 1 March 2016, being the date specified as the commencement date in notices in the Gazette and the New Zealand Gazette under section 92 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth). See also section 93 of that Act. S22—2 Foods and classes of foods (1) Section S22—4 describes the foods that are classed as animal food commodities. (2) Section S22—5 describes the foods that are classed as crop commodities. (3) Section S22—6 describes the foods that are classed as derived edible commodities of plant origin. (4) Section S22—7 describes the foods that are classed as secondary commodities of plant origin. (5) Section S22—8 describes the foods that are classed as secondary commodities of animal origin. S22—3 Portion of a commodity to which an MRL and an ERL apply (1) Subject to subsection (2), the portion of a food commodity that is specified for the purposes of paragraph 1.4.2—3(2)(a) is the portion as specified by a provision of this Standard. (2) If Schedules 19, 20 or 21 specify a portion of a food commodity for purposes of paragraph 1.4.2—3(2)(a), that portion is the portion specified for the purposes of that paragraph. Note Paragraph 1.4.2—3(2)(a) provides that, when calculating the amount of a permitted residue in a food, the amount to calculate is the amount of that residue that is in the portion of the commodity that is specified in Schedule 22. Example Bananas are classified by Schedule 22 as Assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruits - inedible peel. Subsection S22—5(5) and (8) provide that, for bananas, the portion specified for the purposes of paragraph 1.4.2—3(2)(a) is 'the whole commodity after removal of any central stem and peduncle'. Schedule 20 may set an MRL for 'Bananas [Pulp]'. In this case, subsection S22—3(2). would provide that the portion specified for the purposes of paragraph 1.4.2—3(2)(a) is the pulp. S22—4 Animal Food Commodities Mammalian products Meat (mammalian) Meats are the muscular tissues, including adhering fatty tissues such as intramuscular, intermuscular and subcutaneous fat from animal carcasses or cuts of these as prepared for wholesale or retail distribution.

S22—7 Secondary commodities of plant origin Secondary commodities of plant origin The term 'Secondary food commodity' refers to a primary food commodity which has undergone simple processing, such as removal of certain portions, drying (except natural drying), husking, and comminution, which do not basically alter the composition or identity of the product. For the commodities referred to in dried fruits, dried vegetables and dried herbs refer to the commodity groupings for fruits, vegetables and herbs. Naturally field dried mature crops such as pulses or cereal grains are not considered as secondary food commodities. Dried fruits Dried fruits are generally artificially dried. Exposure to pesticides may arise from pre-harvest application, post-harvest treatment of the fruits before processing, or treatment of the dried fruit to avoid losses during transport and distribution. Portion of the commodity to which the MRL and ERL apply (and which is analysed): whole commodity after removal of stones, but the residue is calculated on the whole commodity. Dried herbs Dried herbs are generally artificially dried and often comminuted. Exposure to pesticides is from pre-harvest applications and/or treatment of the dry commodities.
