Food Businesses

A food business is an enterprise or activity that involves the handling of food intended for sale, or the sale of food (e.g. cafe, restaurant, bakery, market food stall, food van etc).

One of the services that Council provides is to maintain a register of food businesses, provide advice, and conduct routine inspections on all food premises in our municipality. This is done to ensure that a high level of food safety is maintained by all businesses selling food.

Council's Environmental Health Officers are available to discuss and assist food businesses to select and fill in the correct paperwork and/or help with advice on handling food burnie@burnie.net, 03 6430 5700.
