Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code – Amendment No. 78 – 2005
  Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991   Preamble
  The variations set forth in the Schedule below are variations to Standards in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code published by the National Health and Medical Research Council in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No. P 27, on 27 August 1987, which have been varied from time to time.   These variations are published pursuant to section 23A of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991.   Citation   These variations may be collectively known as the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code – Amendment No. 78 – 2005.   Commencement   These variations commence on gazettal, with the exception of Items [23.2] and [25], which commence 12 months from Gazettal.  
Note:  These variations were published in the Commonwealth of Australia Food Standards Gazette No. FSC 20 on 26 May 2005.
  SCHEDULE   [1]     The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code is varied by –   [1.1]       omitting the Commentary, substituting –   COMMENTARY  
  THE AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND FOOD STANDARDS SYSTEM   The Australia New Zealand food standards system is a cooperative arrangement between Australia, New Zealand and the Australian States and mainland Territories to develop and implement uniform food standards.   The system for the development of joint Australia New Zealand food standards was first established under a treaty between Australia and New Zealand signed in December 1995.  Within Australia, the system is based upon the initial 1991 Commonwealth, State and Territory Agreement in relation to the adoption of uniform food standards.  This system continues in operation under the Food Regulation Agreement 2002, and is implemented by food legislation in each State and Territory and in New Zealand, and by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (FSANZ Act) of the Commonwealth of Australia. 
The FSANZ Act establishes the mechanisms for the development and variation of joint food regulatory measures (a food standard or a code of practice) and creates Food Standards Australia New Zealand (the Authority) as the agency responsible for the development and maintenance of a joint Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code).   Although the Authority develops food standards, responsibility for enforcing and policing food standards rests with the States and Territories in Australia and the New Zealand government in New Zealand.  Further, in relation to food imported into Australia, the Commonwealth, through the Imported Food Control Act 1992, enforces the Code.  Within each jurisdiction there are one or more agencies responsible for food surveillance charged with the task of ensuring the requirements of the Code are met.   Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code   The Code is a collection of individual food standards.  Standards on related matters are grouped together into Parts, which in turn are collected together into four Chapters.  Chapter 1 deals with standards which apply to all foods, with the exception of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and processing requirements for which New Zealand has its own regulations.   Chapter 2 deals with standards affecting particular classes of foods.  Food hygiene is not part of the joint food standards system and Chapter 3 deals with food hygiene issues specific to Australia. New Zealand has its own food hygiene arrangements.  Chapter 4 contains standards dealing with the primary production of food in Australia.  Again, New Zealand has its own arrangements for primary production of food.   Food standards have the force of law.  It is an offence in New Zealand, and a criminal offence in Australia to supply food that does not comply with relevant food standards.  Notwithstanding food standards, it is also an offence to sell food which is damaged, deteriorated or perished, which is adulterated, or which is unfit for human consumption.  Because food standards are given legal effect by State, Territory and New Zealand laws, it is important to read this Food Standards Code in conjunction with the relevant food legislation.   This Code should also be read in conjunction with other applicable laws, such as the Australian Trade Practices Act 1974, the New Zealand and State and Territory Fair Trading Acts and the New Zealand, State and Territory Food Acts.  The provisions in these Acts, particularly relating to conduct which is false, misleading or deceptive, apply to the supply of food in trade and commerce.   Food standards are developed or varied by the Authority, either by application from any agency, body, or person, or by a proposal of its own initiative.  Notices are published in Australia and New Zealand seeking comment from the public on applications and proposals.   The Authority is required by the FSANZ Act to observe certain processes in the course of developing or reviewing food regulatory measures.  However the Authority must have regard to the following overarching objectives, in priority order   ·               the protection of public health and safety; and ·               the provision of adequate information relating to food to enable consumers to make informed choices; and ·               the prevention of misleading or deceptive conduct.  
The Authority must also have regard to the following:   ·               the need for standards to be based on risk analysis using the best available scientific evidence; ·               the promotion of consistency between domestic and international food standards; ·               the desirability of an efficient and internationally competitive food industry; ·               the promotion of fair trading in food; ·               any written policy guidelines formulated by the Council for the purposes of this paragraph and notified to the Authority.   Standards or variations to standards developed and approved by the Authority are subject to review by a council of Health Ministers known as the Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council.  The Council meets approximately twice a year, with some business conducted out-of-session through correspondence.   Standards approved by the Authority are published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette and the New Zealand Gazette and become legally binding.  A commencement date for the standard is also specified.  The standards published in the Gazettes are adopted by reference and without amendment into the food laws of the States and Territories and of New Zealand.   How to seek a variation to a food standard   If you wish to apply for the development of a new standard, or variation of an existing standard, an application form can be obtained by writing to the Standards Management Officer at either of the addresses shown below:   Food Standards Australia New Zealand                         Food Standards Australia New Zealand PO Box 7186                                                                PO Box 10559 The Terrace Canberra BC  ACT  2610                                             Wellington  6036 AUSTRALIA                                                                NEW ZEALAND   [1.2]       omitting wherever occurring all references to the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984.   [2]          Standard 1.1.1 is varied by –   [2.1]       omitting from clause 2, the definition of Code, substituting –   Code means the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code as defined in section 3 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991.   [2.2]       omitting from clause 2, paragraph (c) of the definition of warning statement, substituting –   (c)          subclauses 14(1), 14(3) and 26(1) of Standard 2.9.1; and

  Purpose and commentary   This Standard sets out food safety and suitability requirements for seafood generally from pre-harvesting production of the seafood up to, but not including manufacturing operations.   Chapter 3 of this Code applies to seafood manufacturing and retail sale activities.   Under this Standard, a seafood business must identify potential seafood safety hazards and implement controls that are commensurate with the risk.   Additionally, this Standard requires primary producers and processors of certain bivalve molluscs to implement a food safety management system.  This particular requirement also extends to manufacturing activities relating to bivalve molluscs.   For primary producers and processors of bivalve molluscs, the food safety management system incorporates conditions on the areas from which the product may be harvested or harvested for depuration or relaying, along with conditions on the water used for wet storage.   Table of Provisions   Division 1 – Preliminary 1            Application 2            Interpretation   Division 2 – General seafood safety requirements 3            General seafood safety management 4            Contamination and handling 5            Inputs and harvesting areas 6            Seafood storage 7            Seafood transportation 8            Seafood packaging 9            Seafood for disposal 10          Seafood receipt 11          Seafood tracing 12          Skills and knowledge 13          Health and hygiene requirements 14          Seafood premises and equipment   Division 3 – Harvesting and other requirements for bivalve molluscs 15          Interpretation 16          Food safety management systems for bivalve molluscs 17          Co-mingling of bivalve molluscs   Clauses   Division 1 – Preliminary   1            Application   (1)          This Standard applies to seafood businesses and seafood handlers in Australia but not in New Zealand.  
(2)          Unless the contrary intention appears in this Standard, Chapter 3 of this Code applies to seafood manufacturing and retail sale activities.   Editorial note:   This Standard applies to primary production and processing activities as defined in clause 2.  The definition of ‘processing of seafood’ includes activities such as the killing, gutting, filleting, brining and shucking of seafood and the depuration of shellfish.  However, other than the food safety management system requirements for bivalve molluscs, this Standard does not apply to manufacturing activities.    Manufacturing of seafood is defined in clause 2 as the canning, smoking or crumbing of the seafood or the addition of other foods to the seafood and other like activities.   Under the Imported Food Control Act 1992, Standards in this Code apply to imported food.  However, this Standard does not fall within the scope of the ‘Agreement Between the Government of Australia and the Government of New Zealand Concerning a Joint Food Standards System’.  Accordingly, this Standard does not apply to food businesses in New Zealand.  Furthermore, the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Arrangement and the Australian and New Zealand legislation giving effect to that Arrangement apply to imported food.   This Standard does not apply to persons who harvest or catch seafood for recreational, cultural or traditional purposes, provided the activity does not come within the definition of a ‘seafood business’ – that is, the seafood harvested or taken is not intended for sale.   Clause 3 of this Standard does not affect the operation of Standard 3.2.1.
  2            Interpretation   (1)          Unless the contrary intention appears, the definitions in Chapter 3 of this Code apply for the purposes of this Standard.   (2)          In this Standard –   control means a measure that prevents, eliminates or reduces to an acceptable level, a food safety hazard.   depuration means a process using a controlled environment to reduce the level of certain pathogenic organisms that may be present in live shellfish and crustaceans.   harvesting means the capture or taking of seafood and includes the capture or taking of seafood from an enclosure or pond used in aquaculture.   inputs includes any feed, chemicals or other substances used in, or in connection with, the primary production of seafood.   live seafood premises means a premises used for the primary production of live seafood, and includes sea cages. manufacturing of seafood means the canning, smoking or crumbing of seafood or the addition of other food to seafood and other like activities.   primary production of seafood means the –   (a)          growing, cultivation, picking, harvesting, collection or catching of seafood;  or (b)          growing on of seafood; or (c)          transportation or delivery of seafood;  or (d)          holding of live seafood;   and includes processing of seafood.   processing of seafood includes –   (a)          the killing, dismembering, filleting or cutting into portions, gill or gutting, or skinning of seafood; and (b)          the depuration of shellfish and crustaceans; and (c)          the shucking or peeling of seafood; and (d)          the cooking, including steaming or boiling, of crustaceans; and (e)          the brining of seafood; and (f)           the packing, treating, washing, freezing, refrigeration or storing of seafood; and (g)          other similar activities.   Editorial note:   The definitions of ‘primary production of seafood’ and ‘processing of seafood’ operate for the purposes of this Standard and do not affect the definition of those terms in State and Territory Food Acts.  The definitions in this Standard do not affect the legislative or administrative arrangements in the States and Territories concerning the administration and implementation of legislative schemes.
  seafood means all aquatic vertebrates and aquatic invertebrates intended for human consumption, but excludes amphibians, mammals, reptiles, and aquatic plants.   seafood business means a business, enterprise or activity that involves the primary production of seafood intended for sale.   seafood handler means a person who engages in or supervises the primary production of seafood, for a seafood business.   seafood premises means any premises including land, vehicles, parts of structures, tents, stalls and other temporary structures, vessels, pontoons, and any other place declared by the relevant authority to be a premises under the Food Act, kept or used for the primary production of seafood (exclusively or otherwise), regardless of whether the premises are owned by the proprietor, including premises used principally as a private dwelling.   temperature control means maintaining seafood at a temperature of –   (a)          5°C, or below if this is necessary to minimise the growth of infectious or toxigenic micro-organisms in the food so that the microbiological safety of the food will not be adversely affected for the time the food is at that temperature; or (b)          another temperature – if the food business demonstrates that maintenance of the food at this temperature for the period of time for which it will be so maintained, will not adversely affect the microbiological safety of the food.   Division 2 – Seafood safety requirements   3            General seafood safety management   A seafood business must systematically examine all of its primary production and processing operations to identify potential seafood safety hazards and implement controls that are commensurate with the food safety risk.   Editorial note:   The ‘controls’ referred to in this clause should include –   a.            Measures to control hazards from air, soil, water, bait and feedstuffs, fertilizers (including natural fertilizers), pesticides, veterinary drugs and any other agent used in primary production of seafood; and   b.           Controls to protect food sources from faecal and other contamination.

  8            Seafood packaging   A seafood business must, when packaging seafood –   (a)          only use packaging material that is fit for its intended use; and (b)          only use packaging material that is not likely to cause contamination of the seafood; and (c)          take all reasonable measures to ensure that the seafood does not become contaminated.   9            Seafood for disposal   (1)          A seafood business must ensure that seafood for disposal is held and kept separate until it is –   (a)          destroyed or otherwise used or disposed of so that it cannot be used for human consumption; or (b)          returned to its supplier; or (c)          processed in a way that ensures its safety or suitability; or (d)          ascertained to be safe and suitable for sale.   (2)     A seafood business must clearly identify any seafood that is held and kept separate in accordance with subclause (1) as returned seafood, recalled seafood, or seafood that is or may not be safe and suitable.   Editorial note:   ‘Seafood for disposal’ has the same meaning as ‘food for disposal’ as defined in Standard 3.2.2, clause 11 – that is – the seafood is subject to a recall, or has been returned, or is not safe or suitable, or is reasonably suspected of not being safe or suitable.
  10          Seafood receipt   (1)          A seafood business must take all reasonable measures to ensure it only accepts seafood that is protected from the likelihood of contamination.   (2)          A seafood business must, when receiving seafood, other than live seafood, take all reasonable measures to ensure it only accepts seafood that is under temperature control.   (3)          A seafood business must, when receiving live seafood, take all reasonable measures to ensure that it receives seafood that has been transported in such a way that has not or will not adversely affect the safety or suitability of the seafood.   11          Seafood tracing   A seafood business must maintain sufficient written records to identify the immediate supplier and immediate recipient of seafood for the purposes of ensuring the safety of the seafood.   12          Skills and knowledge   A seafood business must ensure that seafood handlers have –   (a)          skills in food safety and food hygiene;  and (b)          knowledge of food safety and food hygiene matters;   commensurate with their work and the food safety risks.   13          Health and hygiene requirements   (1)          A seafood handler must exercise personal hygiene and health practices that are commensurate with the food safety risks and that do not adversely affect the safety or suitability of the seafood.   (2)          A seafood handler who –   (a)          has a symptom that indicates the handler may be suffering from a food-borne disease; or (b)          knows he or she is suffering from a food-borne disease; or (c)          is a carrier of a food-borne disease;   must not engage in any handling of seafood where there is a reasonable likelihood of seafood contamination as a result of the disease.  
(3)          A seafood business must take all reasonable measures to ensure that seafood handlers exercise personal hygiene and health practices that are commensurate with the food safety risks and that do not adversely affect the safety or suitability of the seafood.   14          Seafood premises and equipment   (1)        A seafood business must ensure that seafood premises, including live seafood premises, and equipment used in the primary production of seafood are –   (a)          so far as is reasonably necessary, kept clean; and (b)          designed, constructed, maintained and operated;   such that the safety or suitability of the seafood will not be adversely affected.   (2)          For the purposes of subclause (1), a seafood business must comply with –   (a)          Division 5 of Standard 3.2.2 and Standard 3.2.3 of this Code; or (b)          a set of requirements recognised by the Authority.   Editorial note:   Where the cleaning of equipment such as fishing nets and oyster racks would not affect the safety or suitability of the seafood, the cleaning of this equipment will not be necessary to meet the requirements in paragraph 14(1)(a).
  Division 3 – Specific requirements for bivalve molluscs   15          Interpretation   In this Division –   approved means approved by the Authority.   area means an area where bivalve molluscs are grown or harvested.   ASQAP Manual means the Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance Program Operations Manual – Version 3 of 2002.   Authority means the State, Territory or Commonwealth government agency or agencies having the legal authority to implement and enforce this Division.   batch means a quantity of bivalve molluscs which is harvested, depurated or handled from the same lease number and with the same harvest date.   bivalve molluscs include cockles, clams, mussels, oysters, pipis and scallops intended for human consumption, but excludes scallops and pearl oysters, where the only part of the product consumed is the adductor muscle, and spat.
growing on means the process where juvenile bivalve molluscs are translocated to a classified area for a sufficient period to enable their development prior to sale.   relaying means the transfer of bivalve molluscs from one area to another for the reduction of contaminants in the bivalve molluscs.   spat means juvenile bivalve molluscs taken for the sole purpose of growing on.   Editorial note:   If spat are harvested for human consumption then the product falls within the definition of ‘bivalve mollusc’.  In that case, the requirements in this Division for bivalve molluscs apply to the product.
  wet storage means the temporary storage of bivalve molluscs from an area in containers or tanks containing natural or artificial seawater for purposes other than depuration.   16          Food safety management systems for bivalve molluscs   (1)          A seafood business that engages in the primary production or processing of, or manufacturing activities concerning, bivalve molluscs must implement a documented food safety management system that effectively controls the hazards.   Editorial note:   ‘Hazard’ is defined in Standard 3.1.1 as a biological, chemical or physical agent in, or condition of, food that has the potential to cause an adverse health effect in humans.   Under subclause 1(2) of this Standard, the requirement for a food safety management system in subclause 16(1) does not apply to retail sale activities concerning bivalve molluscs.
  (2)          A seafood business is taken to comply with subclause (1) if it implements –   (a)          a food safety program set out in Standard 3.2.1; or (b)          a food safety management system set out in the Commonwealth Export Control (Processed Food) Orders; or (c)          the Codex Alimentarius Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point System (HACCP) for food safety management set out in Annex C to CAC/RCP 1-1969, revision 4 (2003); or (d)          any other Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) based food safety management system recognised by the Authority.   (3)     For the purposes of subclause (1), a seafood business must comply with –   (a)          the conditions of the ASQAP Manual specified in the Schedule to this Standard; or (b)          conditions recognised by the Authority.   Editorial note:   The ASQAP Manual is the National guideline for managing risks in the harvesting, relaying, depuration and wet storage of shellfish.   Subclause 16(3) does not require producers or processors of bivalve molluscs to classify or close harvesting areas.  Under the ASQAP Manual the classification of these areas is the responsibility of the State Shellfish Control Agency (SSCA).   The Australian Shellfish Quality Assurance Advisory Committee (ASQAAC) maintains the ASQAP Manual.   ‘HACCP’ has a technical meaning commonly understood by the food production and manufacturing industry.
  17          Co-mingling of bivalve molluscs   A seafood business must ensure that each batch of bivalve molluscs harvested must be separated in a manner that prevents co-mingling of batches.   Schedule   ASQAP MANUAL CONDITIONS
