Food Safety & Handling

Starting up a food business brings with it food safety requirements and obligations. These depend on what the food is, where it is sold, and other factors.

The NSW Food Authority and local councils work together to ensure food handling businesses comply with the Food Standards Code.

Food businesses in NSW must either hold a licence from the NSW Food Authority or notify their business details to the relevant body, such as their local council. Full details on licencing and notification bodies can found on the NSW Food Authority website.

All retail food businesses operating in the Brewarrina Shire Council must notify Council before they begin to trade. These include:

Other food handling businesses may require a licence or need to notify the NSW Food authority. All food businesses should refer to the NSW Food Authority website to ensure compliance before trading.
