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.
Statistics show that incorrect food handling practices in retail and hospitality food businesses account for up to 50 per cent of foodborne illness outbreaks in NSW, costing the community hundreds of millions of dollars each year in healthcare and lost revenue.
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.
The NSW Food Authority works with key agencies including local councils and NSW Health to ensure effective food safety and food quality management underpins confidence in the state’s food industry and reduces the incidence of food poisoning.
We take a consultative approach to working with stakeholders across the state’s varied food industries including meat, egg, dairy, poultry, seafood and shellfish, plants, vulnerable population and retail sectors to deliver safe, quality and healthy food in NSW.
We work to ensure food produced, manufactured and sold in NSW is monitored and safe at each step it goes through – from paddock to plate.
Our ongoing process of measuring and promoting food safety to the food industry and the provision of education resources for consumers, empowers them to make more informed and educated food choices.
This in turn improves the quality and safety of food, enhancing the confidence and wellbeing of the NSW community.
