Understanding the Regulatory Landscape:
In New South Wales, food businesses must adhere to several key regulations and standards, including:
Food Act 2003 (NSW): This act ensures that food for sale is both safe and suitable for consumption and prevents misleading conduct in connection with the sale of food.
Food Regulation 2015: Underpinning the Food Authority's regulatory work, this regulation sets minimum food safety requirements for higher-risk sectors such as meat, dairy, seafood, and plant products.
Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code: This code outlines standards for food labeling, composition, and contaminants, which are mandatory for all food businesses.
Standard 3.2.2A – Food Safety Management Tools: Effective from December 2023, this standard introduces new requirements for businesses processing and serving ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous food, including having a qualified Food Safety Supervisor and ensuring all food handlers are trained in food safety and hygiene.
By partnering with us, you can be confident that your food business will not only comply with these regulations but also foster a culture of continuous improvement in food safety practices.
