Primary Produce (Food Safety Schemes) (Seafood) Regulations 2017

An accredited producer must have a food safety arrangement approved by the Minister for bivalve mollusc production activities.

The food safety arrangement must—

comply with the requirements for a documented food safety management system set out in Division 3 of Standard 4.2.1;

and

be designed to ensure compliance by the producer with regulation 9; and

be designed to ensure that the producer meets his or her obligations under the Food

Act 2001 relating to ensuring that food for sale is both safe and suitable for human consumption.

An accredited producer who farms bivalve molluscs under an aquaculture licence need not have a food safety arrangement approved by the

Minister in relation to those farming activities if all bivalve molluscs farmed by the producer are moved to the licence area of another accredited producer who farms bivalve molluscs under an aquaculture licence for further development prior to the molluscs being harvested for sale.
