The impact of a poor food safety rating to your Business?

The impact of a poor food safety rating to your Business?

It’s important that the food you prepare whether you’re a manufacturer, restaurant, café or dairy owner is safe and suitable to eat.  Without meeting the requirements of MPI’s Food Act 2014 by 28 February 2019 you are at risk of an expensive audit and subsequent costly fines. 

A good rating signals to consumers that the food being prepared is meeting a safe standard.  The new Act for businesses varies on a sliding scale and is focused primarily on food production.  If you are a manufacturer of food you are at a higher risk from a food safety position and will have increased requirements than you would if you are a dairy owner reheating pies. 

The key components that the act brings are:

Food Control Plans (FCPs) – required by high risk businesses

National Programmes – medium and low risk businesses

The 'Where Do I Fit' tool helps you to determine what rules your business needs to follow under the new MPI Food Act 2014.

Head of Design at Comply Pro

We’re not sure how Greg became one of NZ’s best UX designers and SaaS marketers. Somehow it started with tunnelling, moved through ostrich farming and evolved into travelling the globe as a rock guitarist. He claims he “just has talent” but most of us have decided he was abducted by aliens. So what’s next for this multi-talented guy? That’s right you guessed it - launching his own craft beer.
