URGENT: New food safety regulations for food handlers are now in place as of today, Friday 8 December 2023. Immediate action is required to ensure compliance.

In compliance with the latest updates to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, all new food safety regulations must be implemented by December 8, 2023.

These pivotal changes directly impact Food Handlers in establishments such as restaurants, cafés, pubs, and hotels. As of Friday, December 8, 2023, it becomes the responsibility of your business to ensure that all Food Handlers are not only trained but possess the essential skills and knowledge in food safety and hygiene.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Food Handler training is not the same as Food Safety Supervisor training.

Mark your calendars because these new requirements come into immediate effect starting on December 8, 2023.

Who exactly is a Food Handler? 
In simple terms, it's anyone in your food business who handles food or surfaces likely to come into contact with food, including cutlery and plates. Food Handlers may engage in food preparation, production, cooking, display, packing, storage, or service.

To fulfil your obligations, businesses must ensure their Food Handlers receive training covering these vital areas:

• Safe handling of food
• Understanding of food contamination
• Cleaning and sanitising of food premises and equipment
• Personal hygiene
