What are the pest control requirements for food businesses?+
Under the Food Standards Code (Standard 3.2.2) and NSW Food Act, food businesses must take all practicable measures to prevent pests entering, and to eradicate and prevent the harbourage of pests. A documented pest program is essential for compliance.
