Food safety testing is crucial for the Local Health sector as it ensures that food sold and\/or consumed is safe, suitable, and correctly labelled. The Food Act 1984 and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, provide the regulatory framework for the food industry and the testing services provided are as per the guidelines outlined in the Food Act and Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
