The Department of Health and Human Services has developed an easy-to-use simplified food safety program template for class 2 premises. The new Food safety program template for class 2 retail and food service businesses No.1 version 3 is now available with supplementary practices for safe water and food, sushi and chinese style meats, plus the records to use with the program. This template includes important new features, including:

- shorter simpler records

- enhanced instructions about how to handle food safely

- updated information on allergies and labelling

- instructions about handling raw eggs and raw egg products

- up to date information for food vans and stalls.

This template is suitable for a range of class 2 premises, including cafes and restaurants. A business with multiple associated class 2 food premises can also use it for all their class 2 activities. For example:

- a restaurant that also provides off site catering, or

- a business that prepares food at a permanent site and sells it from a stall at markets.
