Food safety legal requirements you need to know
When you operate a business that creates or sells food, you need to adhere to two sets of legislation. Both are enforced at a local council level by Health Inspectors.
Federal laws & requirements
Governed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ). Federal law states that anyone who works with food must be trained in certain aspects of food safety at a level appropriate to their role. The official AIFS Food Handler Course meets these requirements.
State legislation and requirements
Each state has it's own Food Safety Act that you need to adhere to. Legislation is strictest in NSW, QLD, VIC and ACT where it's mandatory to have a fully trained Food Safety Supervisor at every business location. The official AIFS Food Safety Supervisor Course meets these requirements.
