The joint food regulation system is overseen by the Food Ministers' Meeting. The Food Ministers' Meeting is responsible for developing domestic food regulation policy in the form of policy guidelines. The Food Ministers' Meeting also promotes a consistent approach to the implementation and enforcement of domestic food standards. The Food Ministers' Meeting signs off on all food standards and can request a draft standard be developed, reviewed, amended or rejected. The Food Ministers' Meeting has previously been known as the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation (2015-21), Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation (2011-15) and the Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council (2000-2011). The Food Ministers' Meeting has no reporting line to National Cabinet and no sunsetting timeframes for projects.
