Food Safety Fact Sheets

Navigating the rules of what you can and can't do when operating a food business can sometimes be overwhelming, so we suggest you take a look at useful food safety fact sheets from the NSW Food Authority here. 

Each food business is required to hold Food Safety Supervisors. 

Food Safety Supervisors (FSS) oversee day-to-day food handling operations and ensure risks are managed.

The NSW FSS program helps businesses meet their obligations under the Food Standards Code, NSW Food Act and Food Regulation.

The role of an FSS is to minimise the risk of customers becoming ill from food poisoning because of incorrect handling and preparation of food.
