Welcome to

The New Zealand Beverage Council

We are the industry association for New Zealand’s non‑alcoholic beverage sector.

We represent the manufacturers, brand owners and suppliers behind New Zealand’s juice, carbonated soft drink, flavoured‑dairy and bottled water products. Our role is to advocate for a strong, responsible and future‑focused beverage industry.

Our membership is diverse, from large multinational brands to local New Zealand producers, as well as the companies that provide essential goods and services across the beverage ecosystem. Together, we work to strengthen the sector’s collective voice, support best practice, and help shape a thriving non‑alcoholic beverage industry for Aotearoa.

Notification Circular 387-26 - 31 March 2026

FSANZ has abandoned the following proposal:
P1058 - Nutrition labelling about added sugars.
On 23 March 2026, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) closed Proposal P1058. This followed an assessment that found requiring added sugars to be listed separately in the Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) was unlikely to deliver a clear public health benefit and could impose substantial costs across the food system.
The reasons for the decision to abandon are available in the P1058 Abandonment report. ‍ ‍
