It’s important that the food you prepare whether you’re a manufacturer, restaurant, café or dairy owner is safe and suitable to eat. Without meeting the requirements of MPI’s Food Act 2014 by 28 February 2019 you are at risk of an expensive audit and subsequent costly fines.
A good rating signals to consumers that the food being prepared is meeting a safe standard. The new Act for businesses varies on a sliding scale and is focused primarily on food production. If you are a manufacturer of food you are at a higher risk from a food safety position and will have increased requirements than you would if you are a dairy owner reheating pies.
The key components that the act brings are:
Food Control Plans (FCPs) – required by high risk businesses
National Programmes – medium and low risk businesses
The 'Where Do I Fit' tool helps you to determine what rules your business needs to follow under the new MPI Food Act 2014.
