Food Business Notification NSW
Under the NSW Food Act 2003, all food handling businesses in NSW are required to "notify" their details to the NSW Food Authority. The only exceptions are those food businesses in certain industries which are directly licenced by the NSW Food Authority.
Businesses that need to "notify" include:
- fixed and mobile food outlets
- food retailing businesses
- food stall holders at temporary, periodic and/or one-off events
- food transporters
- hospitals
- school canteens
- child-care and aged-care facilities which provide food
- businesses involved in food storage
- food wholesalers
- food manufacturers in any form, and
- importers, among others
It is the responsibility of all food businesses in NSW to also ensure they comply with relevant parts of the national Food Standards Code.
