THE CODES WILL CONTAIN MANDATORY MATTERS REQUIRING FOOD BUSINESSES TO OPERATE IN A MANNER CONDUCIVE TO ENSURING THE SAFETY OF FOOD.
THEY WILL ALSO CONTAIN ADVICE AND EXPLANATION, WRITTEN IN PLAIN ENGLISH (OR IF NECESSARY ANOTHER LANGUAGE) AND ACCOMPANIED BY DIAGRAMS WHERE APPROPRIATE, TO ASSIST COMPLIANCE AND UNDERSTANDING BY PROPRIETORS.
AS AN EXAMPLE, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ADVICE ON IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS TO DOCUMENT FOOD SAFETY MEASURES SUCH AS CLEANING SCHEDULES AND TEMPERATURE MONITORING OF CHILLED AND HOT FOOD WOULD BE CONTAINED IN A CODE OF PRACTICE.
THE FLEXIBILITY THAT SUCH CODES PROVIDE ENABLES IMPROVEMENTS IN DESIGN AND MATERIALS TO BE READILY INCORPORATED WHICH WILL REDUCE FOOD SAFETY PROBLEMS AND ENABLE PROPRIETORS TO USE NEW PRODUCTS.
THIRDLY, IMPROVEMENT AND PROHIBITION NOTICES;
MADAM SPEAKER, I NOW WISH TO DRAW ATTENTION TO PART III OF THE BILL WHICH PROVIDES POWERS TO DIRECTLY IMPROVE CONDITIONS AND PRACTICES IN FOOD PREMISES.
WHERE THERE ARE SITUATIONS IN A PREMISES THAT CONTRAVENE THE ACT, OR CONTRAVENE APPROVED CODES OF PRACTICE OR REGULATIONS AN IMPROVEMENT NOTICE CAN BE CANNYACED THE
PROPRIETOR
PROPRIETOR NOTIFYING HIM OR HER OF THE CONTRAVENTIONS AND GAINING HIM A TIME LIMIT TO REMEDY MATTERS.
AN MOVEMENT NOTICE WILL PROVIDE THE MECHANISM TO REMEDY DEFECTS IN A FOOD PREMISES WITHOUT RESORTING TO LEGAL ACTION
