The quality of the food and beverages produced in Australia is very high. These standards are maintained because the Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Code has been developed for the entire food supply chain, from primary production through to manufactured food and retail outlets.

As a Food Regulator working in a plant, you could be monitoring food handling skills, health and hygiene, temperature control requirements and labelling. You might also oversee the storage, display and transport of food, and manage business notification requirements andfoodrecall systems for unsafe foods.

You might like to work for government agencies to gather input from stakeholders to develop and write new food standards. Alternatively, an emerging area that might interest you is the development and implementation of measures to help ensure the safety of our food supply from Bioterrorism.
