What is Standard 3.2.2A?
Standard 3.2.2A is a recent addition to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. This change means that from December 8, 2022, new requirements exist for food businesses across all Australian states & territories.
If your business prepares and serves food then this change affects you.
The new requirements need to be met by any business that prepares or serves food in any Australian state and territory. Standard 3.2.2A outlines the need for a food safety management system within a business, by introducing the following three tools:
★ Food Handler Training - Offered by Job Trainer Australia SITXFSA005
★ Food Safety Supervision - Offered by Job Trainer Australia SITSS00069
★ Record Management
Our Course covers the requirements of Standard 3.2.2A
The standard has defined what a Food Safety Training Course MUST contain.
A food safety training course means training in food safety that includes training in each of the following:
a. safe handling of food; and
b. food contamination; and
c. cleaning and sanitising of food premises and equipment; and
d. personal hygiene.
The food safety training course must include all of the listed topics.
Job Trainer Australia course contains the requirements and so much more, you will learn:
✩ safe handling of food
including temperature control measures for potentially hazardous food and understanding of the temperature danger zone
✩ food contamination
including strategies to keep raw and cooked food separate, allergen management, food storage, and use of separate utensils and chopping boards
✩ cleaning and sanitising of food premises and equipment
including correct procedures for cleaning then sanitising, using food-safe chemicals, and/or using heat as a sanitiser
✩ personal hygiene
including obligations for sick employees, handwashing, uniforms and grooming of hair, nails, skin, etc.
Who does this impact?
The new requirements need to be met by any business that prepares or serves food in any Australian state and territory. In Australia, food safety laws are enforced at a state and territory level.
No matter which state or territory you operate within, the new requirements of Standard 3.2.2A are more extensive than previous requirements. This means that food businesses need to take action to ensure they remain compliant as the consequences of noncompliance can be serious.
Prior to recent changes, many states and territories had their own special requirements for food handling and record keeping, these included New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory.
However, from December 8, 2022, all Australian states and territories must now comply with the requirements outlined in Standard 3.2.2A.
This also means that for the first time, those states and territories that previously had limited requirements, must now follow the new standard. This includes Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
What must I do to be ready before December 8?
Every business is different, Standard 3.2.2A has different requirements for different types of food-related activities. The following checklist is a good place to start:
Determine if the Standard applies to you, and which category your business falls into
★ Review your staff’s qualifications. Who needs to train or retrain?
★ Make sure you have a Food Safety Supervisor in every venue as required.
★ Get your current Food Safety Supervisors certified, or make sure their accreditations are up to date.
We are here to help you and your business. Contact us if you want to take advantage of our business solutions or if you need any more information!
Guideance on the NEW STANDARD 3.2.2Ais available on the Food Standards Australia New Zealand website.
Penalties & Non Compliance
Enforcement of the new standard commences in 2023 and is overseen by local government. The penalties for not complying with the Food Standards Code vary depending on the severity of the violation, as well as the state or territory the business is operating in. These can include fines, suspension or cancellation of a food business licence.
Additionally, food safety incidents resulting from non-compliance can result in damage to a business’s brand and reputation, a loss of customers, and the potential for legal action by affected consumers.
