Quality Programs

Public Health & Food Safety offers a quality program to all the business.

A Food Safety Program is a ‘live document’ that outlines how a business will proactively identify and control food safety hazards when producing, manufacturing or handling food. It’s designed and managed by a Food Safety Supervisor on behalf of a food business.

A Food Safety Program Should

  • Identify all potential food safety hazards that may be reasonably expected to occur in the food business’ operations
  • Identify solutions for controlling these hazards
  • Include daily records that demonstrate regular measurement and observation for each of the controls
  • Provide procedures for corrective action when a hazard is found to not be under control
  • Provide for the regular review of the program by the food business to ensure its adequacy
  • Include a documented mechanism that outlines basic food safety procedures should the Food Safety Supervisor become absent
