Food safety

Understand everything involved in food safety standards, handler information sessions, safety programs, running stalls and how food recalls work.

A food recall is defined as ‘removal of an item for distribution, sale and consumption, food which may pose a health and safety risk to consumers.’

All proprietors have a duty of care to ensure the food they sell is safe. All food businesses must have a Food Safety Program in place to operate.

Food premises such as hotels, restaurants, take-away shops, stalls and food caravans must comply with food safety standards.
