Food safety management policy guideline for the retail and food service sectors

(Endorsed 9 December 2011)
In October 2009, the Ministerial Council agreed that the Food Regulation Standing Committee (FRSC) would undertake a review of the guidelines of the 2003 Ministerial Policy Guideline on Food Safety Management in Australia – Food Safety Programs.
On 9 December 2011, the Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation (convening as the Ministerial Council) considered the outcome of this review and agreed to put in place a new Food Safety Management Policy Guideline for the retail/food service sectors. 

The new guideline provides a framework for the development of effective, efficient and nationally consistent food safety management arrangements for the retail/food service sectors. The implementation of the 2003 Policy Guideline, as it applies to other food industry sectors, has been completed and remains unchanged.
