Registering a food business in South Australia

SA Health says all food businesses must notify the appropriate enforcement agency before their business opens, under section 86 of the Food Act 2001 (SA). That is usually the local council, or SA Health when the business is not in a council area. Each site has its own notification. Keep the notification with your other documents.

Food safety supervisor

Standard 3.2.2A is part of the Food Standards Code. It can ask a business for a trained food safety supervisor. Hospitality Shield holds the certificate and its date with your other documents. Ask your council whether the Standard covers your business.

Records Hospitality Shield keeps

Standard 3.2.2A is a national standard. It can ask a venue in South Australia for a trained food safety supervisor, trained food handlers and records of key activities. Hospitality Shield keeps those records with checklists and temperature logs, training certificates and documents, and prints them as a record pack for any dates.

Hospitality Shield lists the registration and supervisor documents for your own state. We have researched Western Australia in the most depth, so confirm any duty that is particular to your state with the regulator named below.
