Food Standards Code: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn the safety requirements and responsibilities for all food businesses operating under the national food standards.
The Food Standards Code provides a set of uniform safety rules that all food businesses must follow to ensure food is handled and stored safely.
Who it's for
This code applies to all food businesses.
What you get
By following these standards, you ensure your business meets standardized safety requirements for how food is handled and stored. This helps maintain safety and consistency across the industry.
What it costs you
To comply with these regulations, you are required to have a trained Food Safety Supervisor present on-site at your business.
The catch to know
A common mistake is failing to update your food safety plan when your menu undergoes significant changes. If your food offerings change, your safety documentation must change with them.
How to apply
