Horticultural Food Safety Regulations

In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().24 September 2024).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised:

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) reviewed foodborne illness associated with horticulture produce to enable the development of national horticulture food safety standards. FSANZ documented there were ten outbreaks of foodborne illness associated with consumption of horticultural produce in Australia during 2011 to 2019.
