What is Standard 3.2.2A?

Food Safety Standard 3.2.2A | Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code | Job Trainer Australia RTO 45742

Effective from December 8, 2023 – New requirements for food businesses nationwide

Standard 3.2.2A in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code introduces new requirements for food businesses nationwide.

It mandates the implementation of a food safety management system, which includes key components such as Food Handler Training and Food Safety Supervision provided by Job Trainer Australia.

If your business prepares and serves food then this change affects you. This standard is essential for any business involved in food preparation or service across all Australian states and territories.

The Three Food Safety Management Tools

Standard 3.2.2A outlines the need for a food safety management system by introducing:

★

Food Handler Training

Offered by Job Trainer Australia – SITSS00068 – Food Handling Skill Set

★

Food Safety Supervision

Offered by Job Trainer Australia – SITSS00069

★

Record Management

Documentation and record keeping requirements for food safety compliance.

Our Course Covers the Requirements of Standard 3.2.2A

The Standard obligates a Food Safety Training Course to encompass:

Safe food handling; proper techniques for handling food safely.

Contamination prevention; methods to prevent food contamination.

Premises and equipment sanitation; cleaning and sanitising standards.

Personal hygiene; comprehensive training in personal hygiene practices.

Job Trainer Australia's training course addresses all specified topics. Our comprehensive course covers essential aspects crucial for businesses preparing or serving food in any Australian state or territory.

Important: Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with Standard 3.2.2A can lead to serious repercussions, including fines and license suspension. Hence, businesses must proactively ensure adherence to these updated food safety standards to avoid potential legal consequences.

Who Does This Impact?

The new requirements need to be met by any business that prepares or serves food in any Australian state and territory. In Australia, food safety laws are enforced at a state and territory level.

No matter which state or territory you operate within, the new requirements of Standard 3.2.2A are more extensive than previous requirements. This means that food businesses need to take action to ensure they remain compliant as the consequences of noncompliance can be serious.

Prior to recent changes, many states and territories had their own special requirements for food handling and record keeping, including New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory.

From December 8, 2023, all Australian states and territories must now comply with the requirements outlined in Standard 3.2.2A.

This also means that for the first time, those states and territories that previously had limited requirements must now follow the new standard. This includes Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.

What Must I Do to Be Ready?

Every business is different. Standard 3.2.2A has different requirements for different types of food-related activities. The following checklist is a good place to start:

★

Determine if the Standard applies to you; and which category your business falls into.

★

Review your staff's qualifications; who needs to train or retrain?

★

Ensure you have a Food Safety Supervisor; in every venue as required.

★

Get your Food Safety Supervisors certified; or make sure their accreditations are up to date.

We are here to help you and your business.

Contact us if you want to take advantage of our business solutions or if you need any more information!

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