Source: APRA Comprehensive Product Performance Package 2026, published 28 August 2026. Fees reflect the reporting year to 30 June 2026, are net of tax, use standard arrangements and exclude member-activity fees. Dollar figures are rounded. They are not a current quote. Check the latest PDS for changes, insurance premiums and any separately charged advice.
Returns are annualised historical results. Different return bases, risk levels and periods cannot be treated as interchangeable. MySuper net returns use a $50,000 representative balance even when you change the fee balance. A lifecycle stage return does not track a person moving between stages. Missing figures mean not reported, not zero. Past returns do not predict future returns. Read our method and APRA's definitions.
| What to compare | Australian Food Super | Freedom of Choice Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Anyone can join, subject to product rules. People can remain members when they leave the meat industry. Sources123 | The current disclosure library provides separate application forms for personal super and pension. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Superannuation and pension products. Sources123 | Freedom of Choice Personal Super and Pension. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | The fund has MySuper and Choice investments. Pension members can access the Choice menu but not the MySuper option. Sources123 | The menu includes more than 150 managed funds, approved ASX300 shares and ETFs, term deposits and a cash account. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Members can opt in to life, TPD and income protection cover. Check eligibility and the current insurer documents, especially for manual work or changing employment. Sources123 | An insurance guide and occupation-rating forms set out the available cover. Do not assume the terms match Acclaim Core or an employer arrangement. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | Australian Food Super Pension provides an account-based income product. Compare its fee and investment documents separately from accumulation super. Sources123 | A personal pension account is available with separate application and product terms. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | The fund has engaged Retire360 to provide advice. Confirm which assistance is included and what a more detailed personal plan costs. Sources123 | Adviser nomination and advice-fee consent forms are part of the service. Confirm who will make investment decisions and what they will charge. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Use the current product disclosure and member guide for the option and account type. Include insurance premiums in a personal comparison. Sources123 | Use Freedom of Choice's own reference guide and July 2026 updates. Platform, investments, transactions, cash and advice can all contribute to the cost. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Compare the published MySuper or Choice option over identical dates and distinguish pension from accumulation results. Sources123 | Evaluate the selected managed funds or the member's complete portfolio; another AMG Super product's return is not a substitute. Sources1234 |

Worth comparing for food-industry workers who want to investigate occupation-specific insurance and a conventional super-and-pension offering.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
May suit a member working with an adviser who needs this menu and has compared its total cost with alternatives.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.
Use the membership rules to establish which accounts are available to you. Then compare the total price of the investment option and cover you need. A lower fee or higher historical return alone does not tell you which fund is suitable.
Ask both funds to confirm insurance acceptance, exclusions, waiting periods and whether cover would change when you leave your employer. Obtain advice before giving up a defined benefit or an insurance policy you may not be able to replace. ASIC Moneysmart explains the comparison checks.
