We are aware of an issue causing the title of some ARTG entries to disappear. We are investigating as a priority and hope to have this resolved as soon as possible.
This Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) is intended to assist the Australian Government in reaching a decision to address the issues relating to the safe use of sports supplements in Australia. The evidence presented in this RIS does not support the wholesale removal of all food sports supplement products from sale (which is, in any event, is not the intent of any of the options proposed), but does support a greater degree of regulatory oversight for higher-risk products in relation to their product formulation, presentation, manufacture and post-market surveillance.
