The various Food Safety legalisation has placed a great deal of responsibility on the 'hospitality and food' industry to ensure that the food served is not injurious to health, as such - systems of safe food production must be in place. The law now covers all aspects of the food chain from production, storage, distribution to final point of sale. Food handlers are responsible for the food that they use from point of supply, distribution, storage, preparation, production and service.

Breaches of the ACT can incur big penalties, with the possibility of unlimited fines and imprisonment. The defence against conviction is to prove that "DUE DILIGENCE" has been practised. It is imperative that staff now have some form of recognised training.

SHEilds consultants will survey your operation, give you a comprehensive report and recommendations, we can also aid in the implementation. You will be provided with the appropriate package of procedures, record keeping documentation and training.
