Similar to other polyols that are already in use in foods in Australia and New Zealand. Standard 1.2.3 of the Code includes requirements for labelling of polyols.

Resveratrol (sourced from grapes (Vitis vinifera) and added to wine at 100mg/Litre)	Non-traditional food Not novel food	This view relates only to resveratrol contained in extracts from grapes, which are added to wine. No safety concerns identified with the addition of resveratrol derived from grapes to wine at a level of 100mg/Litre. The addition of resveratrol to other foods and/or at different levels is subject to the view above. This view does not take into account whether a particular resveratrol containing extract from grapes is permitted to be added to wine and wine products (eg grape skin extract) under wine-specific regulations in Australia and New Zealand, including: • Standard 2.7.4 – Wine and Wine Product of the Code, • Standard 4.5.1 – Wine Production Requirements (Australia only) of the Code, • Standard 1.3.1 – Food Additives of the Code (as it relates to wine and wine products), and • The requirements of wine-specific regulations in Australia and New Zealand. (Note that concentrated resveratrol extracts from grapes are likely to be different from grape skin extracts which is a permitted food additive (in Schedule 1 of Standard 1.3.1 (category 14.2.2) and as a colour in Schedule 3 of Standard 1.3.1) or grape skin extracts that are commonly used in winemaking.)
