HACCP certification in Geelong at a glance
In Geelong the first reader of a food safety plan is often the council. The City of Greater Geelong registers food premises and sorts them by risk: Class 1 for premises serving vulnerable groups such as hospitals and aged care, Class 2 for cafes, restaurants and supermarkets, and lower classes for packaged or low-risk food. The region's agribusiness and food manufacturers face customers who ask to see hazard controls too. HACCP is the method that answers both: describe the product, map the process, analyse hazards at each step, choose critical control points, set limits, monitor, correct and verify. Sterling's Sydney office builds a plan around your products and equipment, trains the team to keep records at the point of work and prepares the paperwork for inspection and customer audit.

HACCP in Geelong: questions clients ask
How does Geelong classify food businesses?
By the food safety risk of the premises. Class 1 covers premises that mainly serve vulnerable groups, such as hospitals and aged care; Class 2 covers cafes, restaurants and supermarkets handling unpackaged potentially hazardous food; Classes 3 and 4 cover lower-risk activity. Council makes the final call on a premises' class.
Is a HACCP-based plan needed for every Geelong food premises?
The council's classification page does not say which classes need a food safety programme, so confirm that with Council's environmental health team before assuming. Where a plan is required, HACCP is a recognised basis. Higher-risk premises, such as Class 1 and Class 2, are the ones most likely to carry the heaviest obligations.
