What NOT to do - Victorian Food Safety Authority

Food Safety

Prosecutions for food safety breaches may be initiated where there has been serious non-compliance or a repeated failure to comply with food laws. This is an important measure taken by government to ensure that food sold in our community is safe for human consumption.

As of 1 July 2010, details of offences under the Victorian Food Act 1984 or the regulations involving the conviction of a person by a court after that date are publicly available on this website.
