From 8 December 2023, a new food safety management standard will be enforced across Australia. The City of Subiaco is offering staff from food businesses and catering trade members in our local government area the opportunity to learn more at a free information session.
The new standard is known as Standard 3.2.2A - Food Safety Management Tools. It has been introduced across Australia, with a 12-month transition period in place, to improve food safety.
You need to comply with this new standard if your business offers:
Food service such as restaurants, cafes, takeaway food shops, hospitals, childcare centres, family day care, bakeries and mobile food vendors.
Catering such as catering services, restaurants, canteens, schools and hospitals that handle or offer food for immediate consumption.
Retail services such as some supermarkets, delis, butchers, service stations, seafood retailers, market stalls and convenience stores.
The changes you’ll need to make within your business to align with the new standards will depend on the kinds of foods you work with and what category of business you run.
You can learn more about how this new standard may affect your business on Wednesday 1 November, from 3pm to 4pm, at the Palms Community Centre.
Free, bookings essential. Email city@subiaco.wa.gov.au by Monday 30 October to reserve your place.
