Appointing a Food Safety Supervisor
From 8 December 2023, a business that is required to appoint a Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) must do so before undertaking high risk food handling. The Food Safety Supervisor must:
- be trained to recognise and manage food safety risks,
- hold a Food Safety Supervisor training certificate issued by a Registered Training Organisation in the last 5 years,
- have the authority and ability to advise and supervise other food handlers, and
- work on the premises and be involved in the day-to-day food handling operations of the business.
The FSS may be the business owner, manager, food handler or another person who meets the above criteria.
Businesses must appoint at least one FSS but can choose to have more than one FSS (for example, to cover shift work and leave). Businesses with several premises are encouraged to have at least one FSS per site. If only one FSS is appointed to multiple sites, they must be ‘reasonably available’ at each site.
