The New South Wales Food Authority has released the draft Food Regulations 2025. The NSW Food Regulations are the regulatory framework for the NSW Food Act 2003, which ensures that food sold in NSW is safe for consumption.
The Authority has proposed to rework the NSW Food Regulations 2015 with amendments to ensure that it is fit for purpose, effective in reducing foodborne illness and consistent with national food standards legislation.
Changes proposed in the draft Food Regulation 2025 include:
- Permanent Salmonella Enteritidis requirements for larger egg producers .
- New licensing requirements for berry, leafy vegetable and melon growers and processors to align with new national legislation.
- Establishing an industry plant products consultative committee.
- Requiring laboratories to notify certain analysis results to the Food Authority for early detection of food safety issues.
- A new fee for businesses to resume operation after receiving a prohibition order due to a serious food safety issue .
- Increasing fees and penalty notices in line with CPI
- Modernising, simplifying and updating references.
