Food Safety Supervisors (FSS) oversee day-to-day food handling operations and ensure risks are managed. The NSW FSS program helps businesses meet their obligations under the Food Standards Code, NSW Food Act and Food Regulation.

The role of an FSS is to minimise the risk of customers becoming ill from food poisoning because of incorrect handling and preparation of food. Appointing an FSS gives food businesses a better level of onsite protection for food safety and gives consumers peace-of-mind when dining out, taking away or buying food in NSW.

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 fulfil the role of the FSS.

Businesses Must Appoint at Least One Trained FSS per Premises

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.
