NOTE: PIF V5 SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED
Product Information Form Version 5 (PIF V5) is no longer supported by the AFGC. PIF V5 contains information which is incomplete, and in some cases incorrect. Companies should replace all Version 5 PIFs with PIF V6 to be confident that the information they are storing and sharing about their products reflects current regulatory requirements.
The Product Information Form (PIF) is an industry-agreed questionnaire originally developed by the food industry, for the food industry in Australia and New Zealand.
The PIF allows companies to include a variety of information about food products and ingredients in a single document that meets information needs for legal and regulatory compliance in Australia and New Zealand, in a standardised manner.
PIF is an industry tool that can improve company efficiency and reliability in managing product specification and other related data when applied across the sector.
