Food Safety Programs

All food businesses have the opportunity to apply to have a Food Safety Program (FSP) accredited with Council, however, a licensable food business must have an accredited FSP if:

  • the food business involves offsite catering
  • the primary activity of the food business is onsite catering at the premises
  • the primary activity of the food business is on-site catering at part of the premises stated in the licence
  • a food business is carried on as part of the operations of a private hospital or otherwise processes or serves potentially hazardous foods to six or more vulnerable persons (for example, childcare centres, Meals on Wheels, aged care facilities).

Council is responsible for accrediting FSP’s for food businesses located within the Scenic Rim Regional Council local government area.  This is a requirement of the Food Act 2006.
