Part 5: dairy food safety scheme (sections 50 to 67) – NSW Food Regulation 2025
NSW Food Regulation 2025 54: Dairy primary producers comply with Standard 3.2.1 (food safety programs) and Standard 4.2.4 clauses 1 to 11, and clauses 17 to 30 when producing milk for raw milk cheese
What does 54 require?
For a dairy business that is primary food production the regulation applies the Food Standards Code food safety program standard and the primary production requirements of the dairy standard (Standard 4.2.4 clauses 1 to 11), so farms must run a documented program covering milking animals, feed, water, milking hygiene and on-farm milk storage. Farms supplying milk for raw milk cheese must also meet the raw milk cheese production clauses 17 to 30.
This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
3ab Systematically examine all food handling operations for hazards and, where any are found, develop and implement a food safety program (clause 3(a) and (b))
