In New South Wales, there isn't a specific law banning eating while driving, so technically you can munch away behind the wheel. However, if eating distracts you enough to impair your driving, you could be hit with careless or dangerous driving charges. The law focuses on your ability to control the vehicle, so if your snack time turns into a hazard, expect a fine or worse.
Keep in mind, the safest option is to wait until you’re parked or at least stopped at a rest area. After all, no pie or sandwich is worth a trip to the ER or a hefty fine from the cops.
