What steps should I take so the food I serve remains safe for consumption?

We strongly encourage you to become familiar with best practices for storing, preparing and serving food to ensure it remains safe for consumption by your guests.

Food Standards Australia & New Zealand (FSANZ) provides information on Food Safety Standards that defines how to safely store, prepare and serve food.

The Western Australian Department of Health's Food Unit also provides useful fact sheets, information on food regulation, and relevant notices.

Finally, the Environmental Health or Licensing team of your local council or shire is also able to help you with questions on these topics, including checking if there's any compliance or licensing requirements that may be relevant to you.
