Food
Stars is here!
Cormorant
Technical Services supports the Food Stars Program as it is designed
especially to mentor small to medium sized businesses to demonstrate
compliance with Australian Food Standards 3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3.
Food Stars
helps businesses build food safety programs that work!
Food Stars
provides you and your staff with
the knowledge and skills necessary to develop a food safety program in three
levels:
-
One Star - Food safety
and hygiene training for all food handlers
-
Two Star - The premises
are suitable and procedures and worksheets demonstrate that good food safety
practices are in place.
-
Three Star - The
administration system is developed and HACCP principles have been applied to
produce safe food.
You will learn how to use
the Food Stars packages effectively at workshops so you get the most
out of the handbooks, manuals and CDs. In addition, Food Stars
Assessors are available to provide extra help if required.
If your business would like
Food Stars recognition,
-
A Food Stars
Assessment will confirm your business has achieved the One,
Two or Three Star level
-
A Food Stars Audit
(undertaken annually) will confirm that your business has maintained the
Food Stars standards. This is very useful for businesses seeking to
obtain and maintain supplier contracts and gain a competitive advantage.
Who needs Food
Stars?
Probably you! Food Stars
shows a business how to produce safe
food and demonstrate that it complies with the Food Safety Standards.
In the future, Australian legislation may require all food businesses to have
risk based food safety
programs for example, programs based on HACCP principles. Why wait to
be pushed into having a food safety program? Why not take control and
implement your own program now in your own time?
Many businesses have already
discovered the benefits of having a food safety program;
-
Businesses contracted to
provide food to supermarkets that need to demonstrate they have a HACCP
based food safety program
-
Businesses where their
clients' health is the first priority as they are producing food to
vulnerable groups of people e.g. hospitals, nursing homes, child care
centres
-
Businesses providing food on
mine sites and factories where a food poisoning outbreak could affect
production
-
Businesses contracted to cater
for major events where hundreds or thousands of people could be affected
by food poisoning if something went wrong
-
Businesses that want to go
beyond the minimum standards required by legislation and also impress
their insurance companies
-
Businesses that just want to
get it right the first time!
