NSW Food Regulation 2025 for DPOs

What does NSW Food Regulation 2025 require of a DPO?

The NSW Food Regulation 2025 under the Food Act 2003: food safety supervisor certificates, kilojoule display, food business licensing and the dairy, meat, plant products, seafood, vulnerable persons and egg food safety schemes, with their processing, testing, notification, record keeping, shellfish and egg biosecurity duties, fees and auditor reporting. Under NSW Food Regulation 2025, which defines 79 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
