Anzac Biscuits: Strict Guidelines for Culinary Symbolism

Anzac biscuits, a venerated culinary tradition of Anzac Day, are subject to stringent regulations. To maintain the iconic status of the treat, the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) enforces specific guidelines. Commercial producers must adhere to the traditional recipe and shape, avoiding alterations like adding chocolate or fruit or creating novelty designs. The designation as “Anzac biscuits” or “Anzac slice” is also a requirement, prohibiting the use of terms like “Anzac cookies.”
