The NSW Food Authority has a editable word doc template , that can be used by businesses to develop a basic food safety program. (This is not a full HACCP food safety program, for businesses that require a HACCP food safety program and certification). Businesses must not assume that these guidance documents cover all food safety hazards within their business. If using these document to develop your Food Safety Program then you must adapt these to fit your business, products, and market requirements, and to ensure that all potential food safety hazards are identified and controlled. AS4674 and Food Premise requirements
Food premises are to comply with FSANZ Food Safety Standard 3.2.3 “Food Premises and Equipment”. This standard outlines the mandatory requirements for food premises, fixtures, fittings, equipment and food transport vehicles in Australia. The Australian Standard AS 4674-2004 Design, Construction and Fitout of Food Premises also applies to premises designed for food service or retail, and for small scale manufacture. Businesses should ensure food premises meet the requirements in both standards. Queensland Health also has an excellent guide to fit out of food premises. This guide is for businesses involved in the design, construction and fit-out . The guide is based on Standard 3.2.3 and Australian Standard 4674-2004: Design, construction and fit-out of food premises. It provides information on how to comply with the requirements of the Standard with acceptable solutions. See file- design and fit out guide. Businesses are advised to liaise with their local council. Correct Food Systems can assist by conducting a compliance inspection and report of food premises pre lease or DA, or pre commissioning. |
