Standard 3.2.2A – Food Safety Compliance Requirements

To comply with the new Standard 3.2.2A effective from 8th December 2023, food businesses in Australia must adhere to the following requirements:

All Food Handlers and Food Safety Supervisors (FSS) must have completed a food safety training course that aligns with Standard 3.2.2A, or possess appropriate skills and knowledge in food safety.

The designated Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) must hold a valid food safety supervisor certificate. The certificate should have been issued within the immediate preceding period of 5 years.

It is crucial for food businesses to ensure that their staff, including both Food Handlers and FSS, meet these requirements as per the new standard.

Compliance with these regulations helps to maintain food safety practices and minimise risks associated with food handling.

This Course Is Suitable for Learners Who

This unit is applicable to all tourism, hospitality, and catering organisations that have permanent or temporary kitchen premises, as well as smaller food preparation businesses.

To obtain the Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) certification, you must complete two units: SITXFSA006 and SITXFSA005. These units are included within a single course.

Food laws require specific food businesses in the hospitality and retail food service sector to appoint at least one trained FSS. The primary purpose of an FSS is to prevent individuals from falling ill due to food poisoning resulting from mishandling and improper food preparation.

The owner of a food business nominates the FSS, who can be the owner, manager, employee (such as a chef), or an external contractor responsible for food service operations. In the case of a small business, it is often most appropriate for the business owner to fulfill the role of the FSS.

A Food Safety Supervisor Is a Person Who

To meet the criteria for an eligible Food Safety Supervisor (FSS), the individual must fulfill the following requirements:

1

Trained to recognise and prevent risks associated with food handling in a retail food business.

2

Possess a current FSS certificate, which should not be more than five years old.

These criteria are essential to ensure that the designated FSS has the necessary knowledge, skills, and capacity to maintain food safety standards within the organisation.

Businesses Must Appoint at Least One Trained FSS per Premises

To comply with the legal requirements and promote transparency, businesses should consider the following:

1

Ensure that the designated Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) holds a valid FSS certificate.

2

Keep a copy of the FSS certificate on the premises.

3

Be prepared to produce the FSS certificate for inspection upon request by an authorized officer.

4

The Food Authority encourages businesses to display their FSS certificate, making it visible to customers and stakeholders.

By adhering to these guidelines, businesses demonstrate their commitment to food safety and regulatory compliance, building trust with customers and regulatory authorities alike.

SITSS00069 – Food Safety Supervision Skill Set

Food service, caterer and related retail businesses in Australia need to meet new food safety requirements in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) from 8 December 2023.

Standard 3.2.2A is a new food safety standard for these types of businesses that aims to improve food safety and support consumer confidence.

There Are Three Food Safety Management Tools in the New Standard
1

Food Safety Supervisor (FSS)

Offered by Job Trainer Australia — SITXFSA006

2

Food Handler Training

Offered by Job Trainer Australia — SITXFSA005

3

Substantiation of Critical Food Safety Controls

Evidence tool

Some businesses already require an FSS. The change means that these businesses will also require food handler training (for all food handlers) and if they conduct higher risk activities, the evidence tool as well.

For other businesses, the FSS requirement will be new. The new standard extends the FSS requirement to most food service, caterer and related retail businesses that are currently exempted by NSW food safety laws. These businesses will require FSS and food handler training, and if they conduct higher-risk activities, the evidence tool also. Key examples are school canteens, delicatessens and institutional settings such as gaols.

In NSW, Food Authority licensed businesses that do not conduct retail sale of food and one-off not for profit events will be exempt from the new requirements.

Guidance on the new Standard 3.2.2A – Food Safety Management Tools is available on the Food Standards Australia New Zealand website.
