HACCP certification in Newcastle at a glance
When a record cruise season brings tens of thousands of visitors to Newcastle's east end, the city's cafes, bars and caterers are cooking for strangers. City of Newcastle tells food and drink businesses that legislation requires them to comply with safety regulations, and it publishes environmental health requirements. HACCP works inside that frame: identify the biological, chemical and physical hazards in each process, decide where they must be controlled, set critical limits, monitor them, correct deviations, verify the system and keep records. It also matters upstream, since grain and orange juice concentrate pass through Port of Newcastle. Sterling serves Newcastle from its Sydney office, builds the plan with your kitchen or production team, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit if a customer wants a certificate.

HACCP in Newcastle: questions clients ask
What does City of Newcastle say about food business safety?
It states that legislation requires certain food and drink businesses to comply with safety regulations, and it publishes guidance on food and drink businesses and environmental health. A HACCP plan or certificate is a separate, usually customer-driven step. Confirm your obligations with the council.
Who in Newcastle adds HACCP certification?
Caterers supplying events, ships and institutions, food producers selling to retailers, and handlers of food-grade goods around the port. They need to show that hazards are identified and controlled. A single cafe usually needs a good plan and trained staff more than a certificate.
