FSANZ releases updated Safe Food Australia guide

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has released the third edition of Safe Food Australia — a guide to the food safety standards in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said Safe Food Australia is used by government agencies responsible for enforcing food standards. Businesses may also find it offers guidance that will help them to comply with the standards.

“The new edition includes updated evidence and information to address current food safety issues and trends. It also provides new guidance for mobile, temporary and home-based vendors,” McCutcheon said.

“It is now available as a searchable online document to help readers quickly and easily access the information they are looking for.”

McCutcheon also launched FSANZ’s online Food Safety Hub — a one-stop food safety shop — providing information for food regulators, businesses and consumers.

“The Food Safety Hub brings together food safety advice, guides, resources and tools to make it easier for users to find what they’re looking for.”
