The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) administers legislation covering:

• food for sale in New Zealand
• primary processing of animal products and official assurances related to their export
• exports of plant products and the controls surrounding registration, and
• use of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines.

In July 2007 the NZFSA was separated from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to form a new Public Service Department.^[1]
