    Study Notes

    FSANZ Regulation and Responsibilities

    • FSANZ (Food Standards Australia New Zealand) regulates food safety standards, food labeling, and food composition.
    • One responsibility of FSANZ in Australia is the development of food safety management practices and guidelines.

    CODEX APVMA Overview

    • CODEX (Codex Alimentarius) sets international food standards to ensure food safety and quality globally.
    • The APVMA (Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority) regulates agricultural and veterinary chemicals to ensure their safe use in food production.

    Standards in Chapter 1

    • Chapter 1 of the text covers standardized food safety and marketing requirements for food products in Australia and New Zealand.

    Foods Requiring Pre-Market Approval

    • Genetically modified foods require pre-market approval according to the established standards.

    Microbiological Limits and Processing for Meat

    • Microbiological limits and processing requirements for meat include specific bacterial thresholds that must not be exceeded to ensure safety.

    Food Safety Programs in Chapter 3

    • Chapter 3 mentions HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) as a key food safety program, focusing on identifying and managing hazards.

    Vulnerable Persons in Food Service

    • Vulnerable persons for food service programs include children, the elderly, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals.

    Potentially Hazardous Foods

    • Foods considered potentially hazardous include meats, dairy products, and cooked rice due to their ability to support the growth of harmful microorganisms.
    • An example of a food item NOT classified as potentially hazardous is dry pasta.

    Poultry and Dairy Requirements

    • Poultry meat production requires stringent biosecurity measures and proper handling practices to prevent contamination.
    • A key requirement for dairy products is the implementation of pasteurization processes to eliminate pathogens.

    Seed Sprouts Standards

    • The aim of the standards for seed sprouts is to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses associated with their consumption.

    HACCP Critical Control Points

    • Establishing critical control point monitoring requirements in HACCP aims to prevent, eliminate, or reduce food safety hazards.

    HACCP Corrective Actions

    • Corrective actions in HACCP serve to address deviations from standard procedures to maintain food safety integrity.

    HACCP Record-Keeping

    • Record-keeping procedures in HACCP are crucial for documenting compliance with safety protocols and for traceability.

    Cropping Intervention Benefits

    • A key benefit of the cropping intervention mentioned includes improved food production efficiency and sustainability.

    Training Statistics

    • Training was provided to 150 farmers across 3 wards as part of agricultural development initiatives.
