Professional advice

Like many areas of running a business (tax advice, legal advice, building works, business planning), sometimes you need specialist advice to help produce safe food and comply with food safety and labelling laws.

Australian food standards are not prescriptive. They are 'outcomes based' so each food business can achieve the standard in the way that's best for them.

This flexibility can leave businesses wondering what precisely to do.

The NSW Food Authority publishes helpful general resources on a range of topics and our staff try to help with individual questions where they can.

We usually cannot provide detailed advice to individual businesses nor rulings that might restrict our options to administer the food laws.

It is each businesses' responsibility to produce safe food and comply with standards and requirements.

You may need to consider getting professional advice from a food safety or labelling consultant.
