Q. I make herbal teas and want to sell them, are they therapeutic goods or foods? Can AWRS help?

Teas can fall under either Food or Therapeutic Goods (Listed Medicines) regulations depending on the claims being made and sometimes the ingredients. If you are making therapeutic claims then they would be considered Therapeutic Goods and must comply with regulatory requirements for listed medicines. 

If however they are simply herbal beautiful teas, that don’t rely on making therapeutic claims then they would fall under the Food regulations. 

AWRS can review the ingredients in the products for compliance with the Food Standards Code as well as provide label drafts and label reviews.
