NSW Food Authority 

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.
