  • Food Act 2003 (NSW) - Level 3Food hygiene acts, legislations, regulations and enforcement are the responsibility of the health authorities in each state and territory. In NSW the Food Act 2003 is the overriding legislation which covers food for human consumption and the general requirements which will ensure food sold to the public will be safe and suitable to eat in NSW. The objective of this Act is to: ensure food for sale is both safe and suitable for human consumption; prevent misleading conduct in connection with the sale of food; and provide for the application of the Food Standards Code in NSW. The Food Regulation, made under the Act, contains requirements of the Food Standards Code (Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code (FSANZ)). It provides more detail than the Food Act itself and gives detailed guidance to food service operators. It also sets minimum food safety requirements for food industry sectors which have been identified as higher risk and details food authority licence requirements, notification procedures and auditing procedures.

    Other laws which relate to food and promotion and packaging are enforced by other agencies and include:
    1. Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cwlth) - enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
    2. Trade Measurement Act 1989 (NSW) - enforced by the NSW Fair Trading
    3. Fair Trading Act 1987 (NSW) - enforced by the NSW Fair Trading
