Food manufacturers and retailers will no longer have to report food-related deaths or illnesses to the consumer watchdog.
Changes to legislation will mean that state and territory public health laws require hospitals and doctors to report food-related illnesses or deaths.
Businesses will be able to remove the requirement to report a complaint about food safety illness to the ACCC, from their food safety program or manual.
The press release from the Minister of Small Business can be found here.
