Food Safety Program (FSP) Requirements
You must submit a copy of your FSP unless your business has been exempt from having a FSP. A food business is free from having a FSP if it sells only prepackaged and low risk shelf foods, eg. packet chips, soft drinks, confectionary.
FSP Class 1: businesses are high risk, such as hospitals that should already have a FSP and are subject to third party audit.
FSP Class 2: are all the remaining businesses except those that are exempt from having a FSP.
Non-standard FSP type: a FSP developed independently and requires a third party audit.
Standard FSP type: a FSP developed using a State Government approved template and is not subject to a third party audit.
You must have a Food Safety Supervisor unless your business is exempt from having a FSP. Contact Council if you need more information on Food Safety Supervisor requirements.
