In short

HACCP certification in Brisbane at a glance

For a Brisbane food business the first audience is often the council officer. Brisbane City Council licenses food businesses under the Food Act 2006, expects safe handling, food safety management tools and a food safety supervisor, and runs the Eat Safe Brisbane programme to assess licensed premises. HACCP is the method behind those tools: list the hazards at each step, decide which steps are critical control points, set limits, monitor and keep records. It matters just as much to export-minded processors, because the city's beef and food cluster sells to buyers who ask to see the plan. Sterling's Sydney office builds a plan that fits your menu or product range, trains the team on monitoring and verification, and leaves you with records that stand up to inspection and customer audit.

Requirements

What HACCP requires

Strip away the vocabulary and HACCP asks a food business to prove six things about how it controls food safety hazards.

A team knows the product and processA competent team has described each product, its intended use and a verified flow diagram of how it is made.
Hazards are analysedEvery significant hazard at each step is identified, and the measures that will control it are decided.
Critical control points have limitsThe steps where control is essential are identified, each with critical limits that separate safe from unsafe.
Monitoring and correction are routineEach critical point is monitored, and corrective action is defined in advance and taken whenever a limit is breached.
The plan is verifiedChecks confirm the plan works, from validating limits to reviewing records and reassessing when anything changes.
Records prove itDocuments and records show the plan was followed, ready for customers, auditors and food inspectors.

HACCP in Brisbane: questions clients ask

Does Brisbane City Council require HACCP?

Council's food safety page sets out Food Act 2006 duties: handle food safely, use food safety management tools, appoint a food safety supervisor and, for certain businesses, follow an accredited food safety scheme. HACCP is a recognised way to manage hazards, but confirm with Council which tools your class of business must use.

Who in Brisbane gets the Eat Safe Brisbane rating?

Eat Safe Brisbane is Council's programme for assessing food safety compliance by licensed food businesses, so cafes, caterers, manufacturers and similar operators come within it. A documented HACCP plan with monitoring records gives an inspector clear evidence, though the rating itself is Council's decision rather than a certificate.
