What do you need to know?

Up until December 2022, different States and Territories were able to identify their own requirements for Food Safety Supervisors, Food Handler Training and Record Keeping.

This is where the FSANZ Standard 3.2.2A comes in!

Standard 3.2.2.A outlines three (3) additional requirements for all States and Territories in Australia that your food business may or may not already have in place:

one.

Food Safety Training for All Food Handlers.

Accredited OR non-accredited training is required for all Food Handlers via courses such as SITXFSA005 Use hygienic practices for food safety.

Food Safety Supervisor Certificates for Appointed Food Safety Supervisors.

A Food Safety Supervisor must complete both SITXFSA005 Use hygienic practices for food safety and SITXFSA006 Participate in safe food handling practices (both must be accredited) OR SIRRFSA001 Handle food safely in a retail environment if preferred.

three.

Record Keeping

Record keeping or other evidence that substantiates that the food business is properly managing the requirements outlined in Standard 3.2.2.
