On 21 December 2014 the FSANZ (Foods Safety Australia and New Zealand) reaffirmed its approval of the draft variation to allow limited access to low THC hemp seed foods for human consumption (http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/code/applications/Pages/applicationa1039lowt4708.aspx)
The Forum now has 60 days to accept, amend or reject the variation. So a decision should be available before 18 February 2015
