New Zealand:Waiver from Evaluation for Custom Food Control Plans Developed Through the What I Need To Do Tool

摘要

New Zealand Food Safety (NZFS) said 24 December that it has been working on tools to help food businesses that fit across multiple sectors to develop the required food safety plans.NZFS is developing a new What I Need To Do online tool which will replace the current Where Do I Fit tool. A food business operator will be asked a series of questions that will capture all of their sectors, products, processes of interest, trading operations and location, so that the correct risk-based measure is provided based on their specific circumstances - alongside details of their correct Registration Authority and potential verifiers. The food business will then receive a document detailing their legal obligations under the Food Act 2014, which may be a Food Control Plan (FCP) or National Programme.
