HACCP certification in Sydney at a glance
A Sydney kitchen can be spotless on the day of an inspection and still fail a buyer's questions about hazard control. City of Sydney explains how a food business is approved, how outdoor dining and mobile vending are permitted, and how its Scores on Doors scheme shows hygiene standards to diners. HACCP goes one step further: it asks the business to identify each biological, chemical and physical hazard in its process, set critical limits at the points that matter, monitor them and keep records. Caterers, packers and manufacturers in the west of the city often need that evidence for customers rather than for the council. Sterling's Sydney office builds the plan with your chefs and production leads and prepares you for the accredited certification body.

HACCP in Sydney: questions clients ask
Does City of Sydney require a HACCP certificate?
City of Sydney publishes how to get approval for a food business and runs a Scores on Doors hygiene scheme, but a third-party HACCP certificate is a separate step, usually asked for by a customer. Confirm the exact obligations for your premises with the council and the NSW food regulator.
Which Sydney food businesses ask for HACCP certification?
Caterers supplying hospitals, airlines or events, packers and distributors in Western Sydney, and manufacturers selling to supermarkets. Buyers want proof that hazards are identified and controlled, not just a clean inspection. Retail cafes usually need a documented plan rather than a certificate unless a customer asks.
