據外媒報道，近日澳大利亞聯邦政府對食品安全法進行了修改，新規定食品制造商和零售商將不再需要向消費者監督機構（ACCC）報告與食品相關的死亡或疾病案例，改由醫生負責報告。
小企業部部長比爾森（Bruce Billson）說，根據各省和行政區公共衛生法律要求，醫院和醫生報告與食品相關的疾病或死亡案例。
部分原文報道如下：
Food-related deaths and disease outbreaks will no longer have to be reported to the consumer watchdog by product makers and sellers under new federal laws, “appalling” public health experts.
In line with the Abbott government's war on red tape, Small Business Minister Bruce Billson pushed a bill on Wednesday to remove the need for food businesses to alert the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission when they become aware of safety problems.
