The Fiji Food Safety Regulations 2009 establish contaminant controls under the Food Safety Act 2003.

The Fiji Food Safety Regulations 2009 establish contaminant controls under the Food Safety Act 2003. Regulation 29 adopts Codex Alimentarius contaminant limits generally unless Fiji law sets a different limit, while Regulation 30 and the Eleventh Schedule set Fiji-specific maximum permitted levels for selected chemical contaminants. The routeable heavy-metal limits cover arsenic in fats/oils and salt, cadmium in salt and fishery products, lead in fats/oils, salt, jam and jelly, infant formula, and fishery products, total mercury in fish and salt, tin in selected canned foods, and metal limits for packaged natural mineral water. Natural-mineral-water values are stated in mg/l; the other routeable limits are stated in mg/Kg.
