According to the new rules, meat pies must be at least 25% meat flesh. The definition excludes offcuts and offal – meat flesh is classified as muscle, skin and fat.
The move, FSANZ said, will prevent reported “misrepresentation and deception” in the industry and promote fair trading in the category.
