    The deadline for some businesses to register under the new Food Act is coming up. Food businesses, including restaurants and cafes with an alcohol licence, need to apply by 31 March.

 

    Over 5,000 food businesses across the country are already registered under the new law, which came into effect last year.

 

    Sally Johnston, Manager Food and Beverage at MPI, says the new law aims to improve food safety by moving to a risk-based approach.

 

    “It sets different rules for different businesses depending on what they do, and focuses on what's most important for making sure food is safe.”
