Food Safety

Food Surveillance

This area involves routine auditing of any premise (from cafes, restaurants to market stalls and public functions) where foods are prepared and or made for sale to the public. These food premises must meet the requirements of the Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations and the Shires Health Local Laws.

Food sampling is routinely conducted to ensure that all manufactured foods comply with prescribed food standards. All food premises including food vehicles are licensed annually by our Environmental Health Officer. All enquiries regarding food safety can be made to the Environmental Health Officer via email at eho@northampton.wa.gov.au or on 0429 341 228, or 9934 1202
