“We regularly run these seminars to support small businesses in our region because a clean and safe dining experience is good for individual businesses and our region as a whole,” said Council’s Executive Manager, Liveability and Sustainable Development, Gary Mead.

“Safe food handling is required by law and reassures customers that you’ve set the highest health standards for your business.

“There have been recent changes to allergen labelling requirements and the Food Safety Code. “We will help you understand these changes and how they affect you.”

The seminar will also increase your awareness of food hygiene practices and provide tips on how to improve.

The free seminar, which includes light refreshments, will take place on Thursday 18 May from 2pm to 5pm at Council’s administration building Yalawanyi Ganya, 2 Biripi Way, Taree.

“Both business owners and their staff members will benefit from attending this session,” added Mr Mead.

“Customers are more aware of the impact of hygiene than ever before, so making sure all staff members are across safe food handling practices can have a big impact on getting return business.”
