This release is an 11-page consolidated register of major and minor non-compliances recorded under Food Import Compliance Agreements (FICAs), covering 1 January 2023 to 22 May 2026. Entries are drawn from audit findings and non-compliance referrals against importers and their overseas producers. Most major non-compliances concern failure to test risk or surveillance foods at the frequencies required under FSANZ and FICA requirements, including missed aflatoxin, pesticide residue and E. coli testing. Other entries cover late notification to the department of failed analytical results, including imazalil above the FSANZ Maximum Residue Limit and cyhalothrin at 0.057 mg/kg, unassessed imported products outside compliance schemes, expired registration certificates, and undeclared non-compliant consignments such as metal-contaminated containers and out-of-temperature goods. Named commodities are largely redacted. The register does not record regulatory decisions beyond the referrals themselves.
