In December 2010 the Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council (Ministerial Council) requested the Food Regulation Standing Committee (FRSC) to provide technical regulatory advice on a nationally consistent approach to the provision of point-of-sale information in standardised fast food chains.
The Ministerial Council requested this work be undertaken in consultation with the Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council to reduce the intake of energy, saturated fat, sugar and salt from fast foods. FRSC established a working group to undertake this work. The FRSC working group developed the principles.
These Principles were endorsed out-of-session by the Ministerial Council in October 2011.
