New National Food Safety Standards for the Primary production and processing standards for leafy vegetables, melons, and berries will be enforced Australia-wide from 12 February 2025.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has developed new Australia-wide standards to improve food safety for the primary production and processing of leafy vegetables, melons, and berries.
The new standards are automatically adopted in the WA Food Act 2008 and will be enforced Australia-wide from 12 February 2025.
Leafy vegetables and melon growers and processors must now legally register as a food business with their local government, and berry primary producers and processors must notify as a food business with the local government, before the standards commence on 12 February 2025.
