On 28 February 2024, the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) of New Zealand issued Notice 19 amending the “Food for Export - Exemptions from Domestic Compositional Requirements”. The amendment mainly adds the following new section (see the yellow marked section in Schedule 2): Infant formulae exported to China are exempted from the following requirements:

(1) The maximum permitted amount of 2-fucosyllactose (2'-fucosyllactose) is 2.4 g/L (in ready-to-eat state);

(2) The maximum permitted amount of Galacto oligosaccharide is 64.5 g/kg;

(3) The maximum permitted level of Lacto-N-neotetraose is 0.6 g/L (in the ready-to-eat state).

The amendment is effective from the date of publication.
