The NSW Food Authority uses the national food safety risk profiling framework to classify the risk priority of NSW food businesses.
Classifications are:
-
Priority 1 (P1) – highest risk
-
Priority 2 (P2)
-
Priority 3 (P3)
-
Priority 4 (P4) – lowest risk
Priority classifications are applied to each licence permission granted to those businesses which require a food safety licence. The classifications are used to apply regulations relating to food safety programs in food businesses and their audit frequency.
The Authority’s system and classifications are set out in:
